       You see, we are to live by the freedom of the Spirit versus having a sacrifice/suffering mindset. These brothers and sisters need to learn that we live by the grace of God, and not by our works. Our works don’t make us right before God anymore than going out on the baseball field makes you a pro-baseball player. It is written in John, “"For from his fullness [Jesus’ fullness] we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:16, 17, ESV). We live in the new era of grace, and we are not to live by works anymore like those who lived during the times of the Old Testament. We live out our Christian lives in the true freedom that Christ has given to us, and we don’t only follow rules from the pages of Scripture. It says in Romans, “"Through him [Jesus] we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God" (Romans 5:2, ESV).
