Law v.s Grace - The Basic

I flip open the little handy Oxford dictionary of mine & came upon a word, 'Grace'...it defines 'the unmerited favour of God" In other words, "Undeserved, Unmerit, not worthy of, unjustifiable..."
Grace is God's ability working in man, making him able to do what he cannot do in his own ability. " "Can the Ethiopian change his skin Or the leopard his spots?..."Jer.13:23 No amount of good work can ever change us, only way is Jesus...
When we work really hard trying to change ourselves, our own effort bring us back to Law and righteousness can never came by anyone by the Law but only the Grace of Jesus Christ... "For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh..." Romans 8:3 The flesh is our human's effort. We are constantly in our 'flesh' when we try to change, perform, or become what we should be through our own strength and efforts, that is why the law did not work as it depends on our 'flesh' [Human's ability]...
Man can never perform or obey the law written in the commandments as it required perfection. The Law did not give us ability, it seems to often 'enlarge' the awareness of our sin. When such happen, Mr. D will speak with a soft voice full of deceits, "How can God forgive your deeds, when you can't forgive others? You are always angry with people, can God not be angry with you? You must always fight to be in the 'right' way and seek your own 'justice' how can you have righteousness from God?...'
"for the law made nothing perfect, and on the other hand there is a bringing in a better hope through we draw near to God." Heb 7:19
"But Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them." Heb 7:24-25
I am the righteousness of God in Lord Jesus Christ so are you! ...no matter what others say about you [Liar, Hypocrite, Insolent Fool, Dumb Ass, Ugly Shit, Prodigal Son...] ; yesterday, today and forever, Jesus Christ, Son of God redeems us from our sins 2000 years ago ...with his blood...his convenant our eternal inheritance...
