We explore how misunderstanding biblical context leads to "spiritual sleepwalking" - practicing self-effort religion instead of resting in Christ's finished work. This common mistake occurs when we fail to recognize which covenant was operating during Jesus's earthly teachings.
• Most Christians unknowingly read Jesus's teachings without recognizing He spoke to people under the Law
• The Sermon on the Mount was delivered before the New Covenant began at Christ's crucifixion
• Jesus taught the Law in its full intensity to reveal humanity's need for a Savior
• The Lord's Prayer illustrated Old Covenant principles, not New Covenant grace
• Contrasting "forgive to be forgiven" (law) with "forgive as you've been forgiven" (grace)
• Galatians confirms Jesus was "born under law to redeem those under law"
• The finished work of Christ brings rest from religious striving
• Understanding proper context liberates us from performance-based spirituality
