You cannot live your faith, you cannot be Christ-like, you cannot be grace if you haven't done the personal development work. Because even though you have the intention, your belief, your heart, the inner part of you as a human being will not allow you to do a good job in practicing your faith. Let me give you examples. If I am a woman of faith and I go to church, but then when you're there, you're triggered by this person that you can't stand sitting in the front pew, you feel like scandalized by the one who's wearing very short shorts to go to church, how dare she. We're judging, and judgment, guess what, is not how we live our faith.
