*LAW vs GRACE(UNDESERVED FAVOUR-LOVE)*
John 1:17 "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christโ
Look at the pattern in which God chose to do it.
The law was given (you can give from the distance)
Grace came personally (through the Son)
The law was given through the servant (Moses)
Grace came through the Son (Jesus).
The law talks about what man ought to be
Grace reveals who God is.
In the first miracle of Moses (servant through which the law was given), He turned water to blood resulting to death
In the first miracle of Jesus, He turned water to wine resulting to celebration and life
Under law, God demands righteousness from the sinful man
But under Grace, God provides righteousness as a gift, to be received by whoever accepts him
Now which one do you want to be under?????
My advice is that you have to just accept the GRACE REVOLUTION because when you resist it, you will fall into it,
Today people are so confused, mixed up law and Grace, they have some law and some grace.
Jesus said โNeither is new wine (GRACE) put in old wineskins (LAW); for if it is, the skins burst and are torn in pieces, and the wine is spilled and the skins are ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved. โ Matthew 9:17โ
Now under law, God said "โฆโฆโฆโฆโฆI will by no means pass by your transgressions, I will visit the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations" - Exodus 20:5
But under Grace God says ......For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatestโฆโฆโฆ.(and most importantly he said)โฆ..For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 8:10-12)
