Devotion.

Devotion as a response to God's Grace and devotion as a response to the Mosaic Law is not one and the same.

Devotion as an outflow of God's Grace is devotion based on what God has done for me.

Devotion based on the Mosaic Law is devotion based on what I do for God with the thinking that I will be be accepted by God and gain His favor and the favor of of the people in law based religion.

All my striving to keep the law is legalism and results in death and self-righteousness and when we fail in some point of the law guild and condemnation sets in.

Living as a loved child of God is a response of simple faith and trust in Jesus who has imputed His righteousness to us by His Grace and His Grace alone.

"For the letter of the "LAW" kills, but the Spirit gives life"

Living by the Spirit is living by Grace!
