Then God will have mercy and no sense in striving or understanding Gods word.

No Sir.
I believe this attitude is a sheep vs. goat attitude. Those who hold it will wake up surprised.

God's salvation is not of works, but faith. Salvation itself is simple.
But true salvation brings forth works!!
Not because we are trying to earn it, or because we are trying to "get it right."
But simply out of LOVE for the one who gives an "undeserving" soul, rest from the "law of sin and death."

God will bring you into the 7th day, my friend. I will pray for it.
I NEVER knew grace or peace until this hit me:
I am undeserving, unsaveable, unforgivable. I am disgusting in His holy eyes.
I have probably harmed or stumbled more than I have encouraged.

BUT HE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

He loves me anyway.
Why?
I cannot answer that question. Never will. But His Spirit has given me unrest in my sin, to the point where I found rest in His grace.
It is the 7th day.
It is freedonm from the Law
It is what the first century Christians longed for.

Why has God allowed His church to exist like it has for the last 2000 years?
