"Grace is NOT the purpose of the gospel; grace IS the gospel. But the purpose of the gospel is dominion. Grace gets us to accept what we didn’t work for (sonship) so that we can occupy what we did not qualify for (everything)"

Busting further (Grow in grace)
Luke 11:38
"And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner."
(LUKE 11:37-41)
A sure sign of the error of legalism is misplaced priorities, as we see here with these Pharisees. It is not recorded in Scripture that the Pharisees marvelled at the wonderful works of Jesus. They were too busy looking for something to criticize (Mark 3:2). But they marvelled at Jesus not washing His hands. This is a classic example of straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel (Mt. 23:24).
Those who seek to earn righteousness through keeping the Law are consumed with "doing," while those who receive righteousness by faith are simply confessing what has already been done. This is a simple and yet profound difference.
If we are still "doing" acts of holiness to get God to move in our lives, then we are still operating under a "Law" mentality that is not faith (Gal. 3:12). When we simply believe and confess what has already been provided through Christ, that's grace.
The legalist has their attention on what they must do, while the person living by faith has his attention on what Christ has already done for him. For instance, the Scriptures teach us to confess with our mouths and believe with our hearts, and we will receive from God.
However, the person who understands God's grace will not confess the Word to get healed. They will confess, "By His stripes I am healed" because they really believe it has already been done.
Analysing our "mind set" is the simplest way of discerning whether we are operating in true Bible faith or legalism. If the motive for our actions is to become something with God, that's legalism. If we live wholly out of gratefulness for what God has already done, that's grace!!!
