Law conscious or Grace conscious? sin conscious or God conscious?

Law makes a person conscious of sin; believers are not under Law.
The Holy Spirit convicts the world with regard to sin; believers are not of the world.


Mercy and Grace make a person conscious of God and His perfect forgiveness in Christ.


Law conscious --> sin conscious
Grace conscious --> God conscious


Being Law and Sin conscious does not help a believer stop sinning or start doing good works; being Grace and God conscious is the only thing that can do either.


Takeaway
there is a world of difference between being Law/Sin conscious and being Grace/God conscious.
Application
it is suitable to be Grace/God conscious.
Question
do you find yourself more conscious of your sins/the sins of others or more conscious of God within you/others?
