The law had its purpose while we were still in the flesh:
The law was given to stimulate sin.
The law was given to make us guilty.
The law was given to make us conscious of God’s anger.
The law was given to bring attention to our unworthiness and sin.
And as Colossians 2:14 says, the law was against us, contrary to us, opposed to us, hostile to us.
The law was NOT given to make us righteous.
The law was NOT given to bring us life or salvation.
The law was NOT given to build us up.
The law was NOT given to help us overcome sin.
However, the religious are determined that the law was God’s gift to man to keep him in check. They think the law is the answer to sin.
The law is holy, just, and good, but it cannot make you holy, just, and good. Only grace will bring true holiness.
Grace was given to condemn sin.
Grace with given to make us innocent.
Grace was given to make us conscious of God’s love.
Grace was given to bring attention to Christ’s worthiness.
Grace was given to set us free.
Unveiling Jesus, by Tricia Gunn, is a verse by verse study of the pure gospel of grace. It’s an amazing journey of love, identity, and freedom in Christ.
