The Gospel is the Reward for Bearing the Message

The Message is the Way of Life--the Holy Spirit acting in and through us. It isn't keeping the Law's rules; it's keeping the Law's NATURE. The NATURE of God as OUR own. The Season of Grace corresponded to the nature of this reality. What happened there MUST HAPPEN HERE. The nature of God is the nature He IS. It isn't that we obey rules; it's that we have the NATURE of NOT doing the way of Death. We do good things because of the "way" our nature. And if we do bad things, they are also because of the way of our nature. When we choose Life, it becomes ... a gift.
