There is a tremendous difference between law and grace. For example, notice the difference between law and grace with respect to the sabbath. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore, for it is unto you: every one that defileth it shall be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. ( Exodus 31:14) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: ( Colossians 2: 16) Under the Old Testament dispensation, men were executed for failure to obey the sabbath. Today, we are told that no man can judge us if we choose not to observe the sabbath. There is an obvious difference, so we had better make sure that we know which program is operating today. If we do not need to keep the law today to be saved, then what is the use of the law today? The function of the law today is to act as a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. ( Galatians 3:24,25). The law declares an individual to be a sinner by showing him that there is no possible way for him to fulfill the law. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. ( Romans 3:20). Once the law demonstrates to a sinner his need for redemption, the law has fulfilled its purpose for today in his life. I f we are not bound by the law today, does that mean that we have a license to sin? Grace is not a license to sin!!!! For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law. but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law? but under grace? God forbid. ( Romans 6: 14, 15). God bless
