To what can one liken Grace and the Laws of Righteousness?
It is like a marriage.

A woman marries the love of her life. She loves him dearly, passionately and unconditionally. Nothing he does could ever make her stop loving him or consider divorcing him. This is Grace.
But he takes her love for granted. After all she has vowed to love him and live with him till death does them part. Since he does not have to do anything to earn her love, he decides to live recklessly.
He stops calling her and stops picking her calls. Their communications becomes stifled marked by awkward silences and strained conversations. He is not caring or romantic any more and doesn't even make love to her. But when her family, friends and neigbours try to intervene, she makes excuses for him hoping he'll change.
Then he starts keeping late nights with friends, of course, what's a night-out without ladies of the night. He starts hiding his phone and picking strange calls, acting aggressive whenever she probes him.
But still, she blames herself for adding to his stress after a stressful day at work. She chooses to see the man she loves and married.
Then finally she walks in on him with a side chic on her matrimonial bed. He gets on the defensive and in fact batters her, smacking her up for challenging him under his own roof. Her bruises can't be concealed any longer by foundation, so her neighbours, family and friends once again call for an intervention. But no, she still won't give up on him. She loves him and nothing else matters.
I assure you, eventually he would get his come-uppance.
End Of Story.

Please, who prays for a marriage like this?
Certainly, none of us.

Yet, this is how we have continued to grieve the Holy Spirit through our abuse of His Grace, His Unconditional Love.

The marriage would be a love story if only he would act right. If only he would love her right. If only he would call to check her well-being, if he would pick her calls and even seek her counsel on his decisions. If he would spend time with her, coming home on time just to be with her- his bestie.
Her heart would flutter at the thought of seeing him, hearing him, spending time with him. Knowing he loves her just as she loves him.
This is Righteousness.

She wants him to love her for her- unconditionally.
She wants him to be emotional and not robotic.

The Law is the guide to righteousness.
When practised as a robot, it is religious.
But when practised from the heart, with the right attitude, it is Sincere and True. It is Everlasting.
