Grace works best without consciousness of your works but His
The work of grace in the believer causes abundance to break forth, most times without a consciousness of works. What I mean is people just walk by blessing, and live without a consciousness of works. The meditation of Jesus's works causes the believer to manifest good works seemingly effortlessly. This is because our faith produces our belief, and our belief produces our behavior.
What we all must understand is that the super abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness cause us to walk in the lifestyle of God.
Your concepts producer precepts in your precepts produce your philosophies, your philosophies produce your faith and your faith produces your belief, your belief produces your behavior. With each step God being the motivator causes momentum to be built. This momentum carries us on to the works of righteousness. These are not so much our works they are the byproduct of the momentum built in God's process. God is the worker, he works of his good pleasure in us and we reap the reward of his labor. Hallelujah! Praise God!

So if I don't have momentum, it's God's problem? How does that work? If everything is His responsibility since everything begins with Him, where is my accountability? And if I am not accountable for my behavior, how do I get the change in my life that I want? If this concept as you've laid it out is correct, then only He can generate change in my life and I am powerless in that process.
Thanks

Hey George,
Dude, the title for this post is awesome! I love that!
I continue to talk about how Christianity isn't a religion, but a Relationship with God through Jesus Christ, for it's not about what we can do (religion), but what Jesus already did (Christianity). And the title pretty much summarizes all that.
