And since we cannot be perfect we must have grace... that was the whole point. HE kept the law.... that was the end of the law....do you not understand what you read????
So when we are told to take up our cross and follow Him (Mt 10:38; 16:24, Mark 8:34; 10:21, Luke 9:23) what exactly was He speaking about?
“And since we cannot be perfect we must have grace... that was the whole point. HE kept the law.... that was the end of the law....do you not understand what you read????”

Not so fast!
If we are not perfect by the time of our death then there is purgatory reserved for us, for no unclean thing shall enter heaven, thus, if full purgation through the grace of Jesus (which opens your cooperation with the resulting action of God in your life), is not complete in this life, then in the next your union with God will be delayed until He is finished perfecting you with His generous graces. Yes, without the blood of the Lamb there would be no purgatory, only hell for us.
Meanwhile, best to pay close attention to conforming all your actions to God’s ways perfectly, for the less you do, the more tendancy toward committing mortal sin you will develop! Unrepented mortal sin at time of death will never be forgiven.
