Given Paul's tempestuous history and his eventual
deliverance, causes one to the realize, the man
experienced the Grace of God with an intimacy that
only the Word of God can express. The reason he was so adamant about not mixing law with grace is
he knew the law could reveal sin but not deliver
from it. Paul's battle with "religious flesh" was
evident in the seventh chapter of Romans. The eighth chapter gave him deliverance "there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are IN Christ Jesus." That is exactly why he wrote "set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth." Religion is trying to please God. Grace is God pleased with you through Christ.
