It is because you are not under law but under grace. The change of master comes from a change of jurisdiction.","Law says do, and live. It keeps score, and the score always condemns. Grace says it is done, now live. Counterintuitively, it is grace, not law, that actually breaks sin’s grip. People crushed by the scoreboard hide and repeat. People secure in grace are free to change.","So if you are fighting a pattern by piling on more rules and more guilt, you are reaching for the very thing that has no power to free you. You are not under law. You are under grace. That is where sin loses its dominion."],"carry":"You are not under the scoreboard. You are under grace.
