Are you still living under law? Or are you now basking in the grace of God? Are you doing the best you can? Or are you allowing Christ to live His life through you?
Take this simple test. Answer “yes” or “no” to the questions in the following list of questions:
| I’m saved now. So I need to start serving God and being holy. |
Yes |

If you answered “Yes” to any of the questions in the table above, you are still living in bondage to the law. Each “Yes” indicates an area in which you still rely upon ceremonies, traditions, rituals, rules, regulations, your own attitudes, beliefs, strengths, customs or religious doctrine to determine your identity. And your identity is fake. Satan is stealing your true identity.
