Law and Grace

2 min read · Chapter 199 of 267

The law was given by Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17.)
The taw demands obedience; grace produces obedience (Ex. 24:3; Titus 2:11.12.)
The law says. "Do and live"; grace says. "Live and do." (Rom. 10:5; 1 Cor. 6:19.20.)
The law makes the offense abound: grace has over abounded. (Rom. 5:20.)
The law condemns sinners; grace delivers them. (2 Cor. 3:9: Eph. 2:8.)
The law is a schoolmaster; grace brings to the Father. (Gal. 3:25.26.)
The law was given to Israel; grace flows out to all. (Rom. 2:14; Titus 2:11.)
The law was given in one language; grace goes out in all. (Ex. 32:15; Acts 2:1-12.)
The law addresses man in the flesh; grace creates anew. (1 Tim. 1:9; 2 Cor. 5:17.)
“By the deeds of the law there shall no, flesh be justified in His sight: For by the law is the knowledge of sin." (Rom. 3:20.)
“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ." (Gal. 2:16.)
“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." (Rom. 10:4.)
“If righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." (Gal. 2:21.)
"Not under the law, but under grace." ( Rom. 6:15.)
“By grace are ye saved through faith." (Eph. 2:8.)
“But is not the law our rule of life when we are saved?" demand many. No, "for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (or, creation). And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy." (Gal. 6:15.16.) "To me to live is Christ" (not the law). "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked." (1 John 2:6.)
But we can fall from grace can we not? Yes, but what does it mean? Falling from grace refers to a believer who knows the grace of God and yet puts himself back under law. He cannot "lose" grace and fall into hell. (Gal. 5:4.) Falling away refers to mere professors. (Heb. 6:6.) Young Christian
Law and Grace
The Law requires good from a sinner, and as a consequence does not find it. It therefore works wrath, and condemns, and curses the sinner.
Grace works to produce good in the sinner, by imparting something to him, not requiring good where it is not to be found. Consequently, instead of condemning and cursing the sinner, it puts away his sin.
