DOCTRINE OF LAW AND GRACE

The post-modern society is longing for "freedom" and "liberty". Apparently, the law was not given until Moses. It was a lawless society and it grieved the heart of God. There was no knowledge of sin and the consequences of sin. God gave the law in the written form as "The Ten Commandments" through Moses. Although by conscious mankind knew what is good and what is evil. But they chose and continued to do evil in the sight of God. "God saw the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." (Genesis 6:5) Bible defines 'sin' is transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4) Any transgression is punishable under law. Without the law no punishment could be executed. The normal physical death is not the punishment to sin. It is the wages of sin (Romans 6:23). It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). Death is not punishment to sin, but all transgressions are punishable under the law. Everyone must face judgment according to his deeds while he was living on The Great White Throne Judgment.


Grace on the other hand, does not save you from physical death, but saves you from condemnation due to transgressions of the law. The law condemns you but grace saves you from condemnation due to your transgressions. Jesus the only begotten Son of God came into the world full of grace and truth (John 1:14) not to condemn the world but to save all those who believe in Him. (John 3:16-18). Therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2) Grace does not provide you freedom and liberty to continue to commit transgression of the law, nor living without the law. When we are under the grace, by obedience to the truth, believing in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary, we are saved from the condemnation of the transgression of the law and not from the final Great White Throne Judgment. Jesus Christ came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it (the requirement of the law for righteousness) (Romans 8:10) Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes (Romans 10:4).
