  1. It is so easy to be drawn off course by the law, by attempting to define right and wrong. We've been given truth:

    But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: [John 15:26 KJV]

    So often we ignore it, trading God's grace for bondage.
