Grace Vs Law

"… the strength of sin is the law."

1 Corinthians 15:56

There is a religious school of thought that believes that we should not preach the gospel of grace because they do not understand it. They would rather prefer we preach the law, but our opening scripture reveals to us that the strength of sin is the law.

1 Corinthians 15:57 says, "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." And the Bible lets us know in John 1:16-17, "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." Jesus Christ brought the gospel of grace.

The law brings condemnation for our sins but grace brings justification from all sins through Jesus Christ. Acts 13:38-39 says, "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."

Galatians 5:1(CEV) says, "Christ has set us free! This means we are really free. Now hold on to your freedom and don't ever become slaves of the Law again." We have been completely delivered from the condemnation of the law.

Confession.

I have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Doing the Word

Stop living in condemnation and guilt. If you have done anything wrong, repent and receive forgiveness and justification in Christ.
