II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."

"...I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst." John 6:35
Get this clearly: the Law was just as essential unto righteousness as was Calvary's Cross: the two made one! ...under the law, yesterday's wrong, which was atoned for, might be repeated time and again...hence the need to CLEAN HOUSE once and for all time. But when once cleansed in His Blood, NEWness in word and conduct is expected, because we have received the "living bread" to strengthen and guide us from within...
Yesterday, under Law, we learned HOW to live. But TODAY, we are put through the paces, YET WITH HIS HELP! Because we "eat His flesh and drink His blood..." (Jn. 6:53).
