Jesus ranks above us
Elevate Christ not ourselves
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”

4. Jesus fulfilled the Law
Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
Romans 5:12
a. Grace comes through the work of Jesus

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
c. The world/satan guilt for condemnation
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Let it be known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed from everything from which you could not be freed by the law of Moses.
