Dead works- works born of the strength and wisdom of man, penance paid after forgiveness is received, continual dead and useless efforts to punish ourselves and pay a debt no longer owed. These have no place in our conscience. We have been sin conscience- in the flesh and even more so under the law. Now we are called to be God conscience. We are to be conscience of the work He has planted in us, of the righteousness He has given us. We are to come into His presence as freely as a toddler runs to be held by his dad.

Jesus Christ paid the debt for us on the cross , so now we need to rise up and become men and women of faith because of the cross. We owe it all to Christ the author and finisher of our faith.

Just think we can come into the very presence of a living and Holy God without reservation and we can call Him , Aba Father. We don't have to say some eloquent prayer. We can talk to Him just like we can talk to our friend. He is our friend and He calls us friend. Isn't that awesome ?
