GraceHead vs. LawHead 3 (polishing the image)

As I am working through this series of observations contrasting the LawHead emphasis from the GraceHead emphasis, I am not putting them in order of importance. If I did put them in order, this topic would be right at the top. It is crucial to understand that LawHead teaching is directed to make reform in the showcase, and GraceHead teaching only emphasizes changes in the warehouse. But, here is the secret - a change in the warehouse will always result in a change in the showcase.

The warehouse is the heart, attitude and thought the true inner condition that only God can see. The showcase is the image, the outward actions, and you might even include reputation - but it all is the impression that we want others to have of us based on our appearance.

When you sit under LawHead teaching then you can expect to hear about 997 lessons out of 1000 about behavior adjustments (you did bad, now do good to improve your appearance) and you'll hear maybe 3 lessons on the flesh, and maybe one lesson on pride. But under GraceHead instruction you'll hear hundreds of lessons about the flesh and pride and only a handful of lessons focusing on outward expressions.

Why? Well, the real impact is made deeper then in the behavior. It is useless to spend your whole life sweeping webs, and not go after the spider. If you don't like the fruit, then lay an axe to the root. And the root of sin is pride.

So, lessons that teach you techniques of improving success by "doing this instead of that" are just avoiding a deeper issue, and will not really afford any life change no matter how long you sit under that kind of LawHead stuff.
