When we come to Christ, we are trading in the law of sin and death that resides inside of us (Romans 7:23), and trading it in for what James calls “the perfect law, the law of liberty” (James 1:25).
If the end to which we were created is to revel in joy at the glory of God, then for the doctrines of grace to land on us any other way means that we don’t quite fully understand them.
The pinnacle of human flourishing and fulfillment is not found in social status, acclaim, or the attainment of pleasure. For us to say such or to live in such a way proves that we don’t truly consider the humanity of Christ as the supreme example of what we ought to be.
