I don't know about anyone else, but I experience the thing's I am unable to achieve when the spirit causes me to do so. I try to be humble, patient, love my neighbor, etc. But I feel the falseness of my attempts, but when the spirit wills and compels me it is then that I found I am able to do such things as mentioned in the sermon on the mount (for example).
It's the undisputed leading of the spirit that astounds my finite mind and causes my being to feel, accomplish, and undoubtedly believe that the grace and mercy of God are bestowed upon me. It is then I find myself giving glory beyond my ability.
Nope, I have definitely proved that the will and grace of God do not change because of .y obedience of lack thereof.
I would put my serenity on the line as to bed that you sir would deem it absolutely absurd and impossible to fathom the idea that I could jack heroin in my veins and still have the ability to love God wholeheartedly.
Use righteous judgement please. Though it matters none, for if is God and God only who justifies and condemns.
Remember those forgiven little are thankful little. Those forgiven much are much more thankful.
You have no idea of the love and gratitude I carry for my lord and my god.

I just got tired of looking for it in the translation that I partially recall. The most important thing is that willing obedience comes from love and respect for God. (many translations use the word fear) But I hesitate to use that term because it's so difficult for me to love what I am afraid of. I tend to run from my fears. I run to God even when it means chastisement. and feeling like a child. I will snivel and complain and compare my self with others until I realize I need chastisement. Then when I surrender I can be useful again.
If you are looking for a policeman to bark out laws and enforce the rules. I'm not that guy. I'm more the older brother that says, "Dad still loves you. Try, I mean really try and accept correction or prepare for another trip to the woodshed. The Father only chastises those who he loves because we need it." Share the love, the devil will gladly accuse. It's his job.
Jesus is the defender not the accuser.

Wrong again.
Matthew 6:12
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
How is SIN A DEBT?
1. It supposes obligation.
2. It supposes obligation undischarged.
3. It is an obligation that cannot be denied.
4. It is an obligation that cannot be ignored.
5. It is an obligation that cannot be transferred.
6. It is an obligation that cannot be run away from.
How THIS DEBT MAY BE CANCELLED.
1. Not by repentance.
2. Not by good works.
3. Not by any amount of seeking and striving.
4. But solely by the grace of God forgiving the debt for the sake of Jesus Christ.
(Amer. Hom. Rev.)
