"content": "These are, perhaps the most important verses for understanding what Jesus has done for you in a practical sense.\r\n\r\nIn them, Paul compares the 10 commandments, and more generally the Law, and examples of doing good in the whole Bible, and says \"these are a yoke of slavery\".\r\n\r\nAll who come to know Jesus as deliverer, do so by coming to Jesus, with nothing to offer but their evil self. This first step is done, relying on Jesus' mercy alone.\r\n\r\nWhat we can see here? That from the very beginning Paul warns that you'll have to be vigilant in order to stay in that place of relying on Jesus' mercy.\r\n\r\nFor the reason of a man, vastly prefers to pursue self improvement to become more acceptable to God.
