Title: Law Versus Grace


1
Law Versus Grace
  • Why Grace In Christ Is So Much Better

2
An Abused Passage
  • Gal 518 - But if you are led by the Spirit, you
    are not under the law. NKJV
  • The law that would condemn the works of the flesh
  • Those led by the Spirit do not practice those
    things the law condemns
  • They are not under the law, nor the laws
    condemnation
  • The Spirit does not allow immoral behavior

3
Another Abused Passage
  • Rom 614-15
  • For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you
    are not under law but under grace.
  • 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not
    under law but under grace? Certainly not! NKJV
  • Thus, being under grace does not give us liberty
    to practice SIN.
  • But, in what way are we not under law?

4
Under LAW versus Under GRACE
  • The Old Testament prophesied of the GRACE
  • Rejection of the prophecies leaves one with LAW
    ONLY
  • Law condemns sinners it does not save sinners
  • Unbelieving Jews have LAW ONLY
  • The New Testament Reveals the Grace
  • Acceptance of the grace takes one out from under
    condemnation of law
  • Christians have freedom from SIN (grace)

5
Under LAW versus Under GRACE
  • Must keep it all to be acceptable
  • Demands meritorious works
  • If kept, man has right to boast
  • Mans reward is earned by own merit
  • Acceptability is not earned. It is unmerited
    favor
  • Favor through submissive faith
  • Man enters upon confession of his failings
  • Mans reward is freely given by Gods mercy

6
Under LAW versus Under GRACE
  • To fail while rejecting the prophesied grace is
    to stay under law and its death penalty
  • All are under condemnation
  • We are not trying to EARN the reward. We are
    trying to exercise faith to stay in His grace
  • Since grace is received through faith, then there
    is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus

7
WHO WILL DELIVER ME?
  • Shall the LAW deliver me?
  • Shall my perfect works deliver me?
  • Thank God, through Jesus Christ

Rom 721-82 21 I find then a law, that evil is
present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22
For I delight in the law of God according to the
inward man. 23 But I see another law in my
members, warring against the law of my mind, and
bringing me into captivity to the law of sin
which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I
am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our
Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the
law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. 8
There is therefore now no condemnation to those
who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk
according to the flesh, but according to the
Spirit.
8
Which is Better?
  • Stay condemned by your failings?
  • Accept Gods free gift in Christ on His terms of
    faith?
  • Terms of Faith
  • Conviction of sins
  • Faith in Jesus Christ that
  • Repents of sins
  • Confesses faith in Jesus
  • Calls upon the Lord in Baptism in His Name
