The Law & Grace
Well I’m going into Christianity; any disputant to my choice should checkout Romans 1:16.
Talking of the law and Grace, many churches today still don’t understand the distinction between both. Some think they are the same thing while some try to fix Grace under law.
The Law
The law, the real law was given by God. Only one man ever knew what was stated in that contract and he broke all the clauses; Moses is that man. Immediately after receiving the laws from God on both sides of two tablets of stone, he descended from the mountain only to see the Israelites worshiping a golden calf. His anger waxed hot and he broke the two tablets at the foot of the mountain; then the order was given for all who were not on the Lord’s side to be slain and an estimate of 3000 people died. Moses was then required to mete out his own laws and engrave them on two tablets on stone just like the first; those stipulations are what we now know as the 10 commandments. Due to this, many people today argue that Moses is the real accuser of the brethren; I think that to be a lie. The devil is the real accuser; he just accuses us on the grounds of Moses’ laws.
Grace
The real meaning of Grace has been obscured by the devil. Grace as we know it today is undeserved pardon for sins committed; this is a misconception of evolution; so then, what is Grace really? Grace is love unrestricted. God loves you and me so much that He sent down his own Son to carry all of our sins; past, present and future upon him when he died upon the cross. Does this mean He gave us the license to commit any type of sin since it’s all been taken care of? No way! What He did for us is that He gave us his place in the Father’s heart; God doesn’t look at me or you now and see our iniquity, because he saw it all when Jesus hung on the cross, and He punished Jesus for all of it. This is the good news that we are commissioned to spread throughout the earth; all your sins have been forgiven, all you have to do is confess Jesus as Lord over your life and believe that He died for you and rose again.[1] Then live a life free from sin and enjoy God’s Grace to the fullest. If you have the intent of doing that right now, there is no need to procrastinate, Jesus’ arms are stretched out wide open and he won’t turn anyone away who comes to Him for shelter.
