Not to negate personal responsibility by orchestrating every tiny aspect of our lives but to encourage personal responsibility by helping us to see the value of the law. We begin with obedience. We may not understand, we may not feel good, but through obedience we bring our actions in accordance with the law. If we are following a benevolent law, a proper law, a law of God, then through the course of time, we see the advantages of that law and we begin to internalize that law. This is a key aspect.
Religion begins as an external force.
Your parents tell you that you will go to Sunday school. God tells you, you will do this, you will do that. Through obedience, the obedience which Jesus had on that cross, we see the value and the worth of that law. As a result, what starts out on the inside of us, becomes internalized, and we like it. We see its value.
