What is Christianity? Jesus Christ. Nothing more, nothing less. He is grace. He is truth. What more can one add to grace and truth? Nothing; neither can one take away from it. If we are bodies of Christ, and our hearts are filled with Him, we also have grace and truth in us that is the source of our faith and good works, nothing more to add, and nothing to take away.
Law is fulfilled in Christ, and not possible in us. For it is the ministry of death, the sting of death is sin, and strength of sin is law (mentality). Adding law to grace is like dripping poison to new wine; and separating law unto us is drinking poison that kills faith.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, for He is the alpha and the omega, and He deserves 100% of our heart, soul, mind and strength in finding and beholding Him. Amen
James
