Why Do We Prefer Works of the Law to God's Grace?

I am working on a book now to explain this strange truth.

Do you remember the song Grace that is greater than all of my sin?

It was always one of my favorites. I was acutely aware of my failings and guilt as a young man and it drove me to run from God, just as scripture predicts. It is the kindness of God that brings us to repentant. The Law of God drives us to ourselves and our own performance.

If you are laboring under the impression that you must do more to please God and make Him like you or love you or forgive you, come back to your senses and accept His free gift to the party of Good News.
