You are not under law but under grace.  Romans 6:14

If I am not under grace but under law, then the terrifying question in my life moment by moment is, Am I sinning?  Answer: Yes.

If I am not under law but under grace, then the heartwarming question in my life moment by moment is, Am I forgiven?  Answer: Yes.

Grace makes all the difference, moment by moment, for sinners hungering and thirsting for righteousness.
