Understand that the sinful nature is "my will be done".

Faith is His will be done.

There are only two paths, two options.

Trust self, or trust God.

The Law was put in place to show that trust in self will fail, because we are not good enough. We are not like God.

Every effort, every thought to control our lives is the opposite of trusting Him.

If you believe your "choices" limit God, you diminish Him.

You believe you are in control.

You believe your decisions are independent.

You believe your future is up to you.

You believe then... in you.

Not Him.

This is why you look down on another.

Since you believe we each have freewill to choose good or bad, then you can only compare yourself to others on how you are doing. If they are not doing well, it is because they are "weak willed".

Well, they are weaker than you.

Why invite them into your home? Why go visit them in prison?

"Who needs that kind of drama!"

You have to compare yourself to them, because the alternative is to do as the Law directs, you compare yourself to Jesus, to God.

Ouch! Not looking so good now.

You can cling to your control, to your free choice, or you can trust God, who justifies anyone who believes IN Him.

Even that loser who can't keep a good job.

Look, Jesus IS Lord, and EVERYONE is going to acknowledge that at the Judgement. The whole struggle now is whether or not you "willingly" accept it, before you are forced to.

Not my will, but YOURS be done.
