A mixed life of guilt and grace - No way

"God doesn't desire for you to live a mixed life of guilt and grace. He desires you to be truly free, alive, and active in his grace alone. When a Christian sits under a mixed covenant teaching for long enough and as Paul says, “puts up with it easily enough,” they can, like the churches in Galatia, truly start living in confusion and never grasp the reality of their God given right to find their rest in his grace. Instead they find themselves on a religious performance tread mill and end up spending their time striving to receive from God based by what they do instead of freely receiving everything from him based on his love. The foundational truth of the New Covenant is one of grace."

Living towards the finish line instead of from the finish line

Elana Rachmian Polinger poses the following question:

What if we're living TOWARDS something (a finish line), when real life is living FROM the finish line?

What if we're trying to attain something that was already achieved for us? (and we just cannot see it/understand it). Towards victory, instead of from victory. Towards healing instead of from healing. Towards  completion/perfection, instead of from perfection. 

 It's the difference between finished works and unawareness of His finished works.It's living in Adam, or living in Christ. I myself am learning and realizing what life in Christ and as Christ means.

We all know and are familiar with life in Adam and as Adam. The Spirit is revealing to us life in Christ and as Christ. Living in our true reality.
