The domains of grace...

"If ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law."
--Galatians 5:18

We who looks at his own character and position from a legal point of view, will not only despair when he comes to the end of his reckoning, but if he be a wise man he will despair at the beginning; for if we are to be judged on the footing of the law, there shall no flesh living be justified. How blessed to know that we dwell in the domains of grace and not of law!
~C. H. Spurgeon, Evening by Evening, September 6
