What is the meaning of grace? Does it nullify—“do away with”—the law? NO! The Law DEFINES what SIN IS!!!! Is GRACE a way which gives us a “license” to sin? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Does “not under the law” mean grace has replaced it—and removed any need for Christians to produce good Moral Living? What did Christ and His apostles teach? What it boils down to is: WHAT DOES The Spirit Within the Pages of THE BIBLE REALLY TEACH US???? What is the New Testament teaching on “law and grace”? Is it one or the other—law versus grace—or both—law and grace? This is a subject of great controversy, leaving many confused. Thus, it should NOT be confusing since GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION. The only one that confuses and twists scripture is Satan himself. For he works through the Flesh to fulfill the desires of our flesh. This need not be. Here is the plain Bible teaching! The meaning of grace in the New Testament has nothing to do with abolishing God’s laws. False teachers who promote “Grace” over Obedience are unaware that the New Testament was written for those whom God calls to assume roles of great responsibility in His kingdom. These false teachers misunderstand, because God has neither opened their minds nor given them His Holy Spirit, which is Necessary to Understand and comprehend HIS TRUTH. Going to church on Sunday and walking out of church and living your life the rest of the week with the world, in the world, and of the world is contrary to Sound Biblical teaching!!!! Why would the Spirit say to us: Romans 12:22 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. The Christian calling (Rom. 8:29-30) is based on Grace—unmerited pardon of (ALL YOUR PAST SINS) and forgiveness upon Real, Sincere, Genuine Repentance. Christians MUST understand that the very salvation offered to them is a Gift, and that Gift is a New Spirit to dwell in them (The Spirit of Christ which is WHY he died to give it to us to overcome ALL the attacks on our personal lives)) and that they MUST continue to live a lifetime of Obedience (Acts 5:32, John 14:15) and overcoming once and for ALL, Dedicating their Personal life to Jesus as Lord and Saviour, to Rule and Reign in them through the HOLY SPIRIT given to them by the GRACE of God for sending HIS son to die on a cross, and after doing so, ALLOWED us the privilege for HIM to send the HOLY SPIRIT/THE COMFORTER, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH to us so HE could for OUR Learning ,Communication, most Important though to TEACH us about God and His Word to ABIDE in us in All Obedience with Power of the INDWELLING Holy Spirit to do so. AS we dedicate our life totally to Christ to rule and reign in our body, being Baptized with His Spirit in us: we need not man teach us the Holy Spirit will teach us in ALL things! See Scripture>>>> 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him Abides In You, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing (the Spirit which is the same Yesterday, today and forever) teaches you of all things, and Is The Truth, and Is No Lie, and even as it hath taught you, you shall abide in him. (IF you Believe and TRUST HIM to Believe it ALL....) GODS Law Not Abolished................ Most religionists claim that God’s law was abolished by Jesus Christ’s sacrifice upon the cross. They THINK that mankind is no longer burdened by the requirements of the “harsh law” that stands in their way of REAL Freedom—of “having a good time along with enjoying the pleasures this world and life it offers to them as human beings.” But the Apostle Paul wrote, in Romans 7:7, “What shall we say then? Is the law Sin? GOD FORBID. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, You shall not covet.” Most churchmen have traditionally condemned the law while absolving sin. However, it is NOT the law that is at fault, but Sin ITSELF in our lives. On our own, we CANNOT discover God’s perfect law. Gods Way is: to Reveal and Teach , How we are to escape Sin in our lives and what is the makeup of Sin in this world we live in by showing to us through HIS Word as we accept HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO DWELL IN US By means of Accepting Jesus in our lives, Hearts, and Minds. Leaders of professing Christianity insist that God’s spiritual law, the Ten Commandments, is done away. They call it the “Law of Moses,” claiming that it was abolished by Christ’s sacrifice. But do they know the difference between the Levitical sacrificial rituals, the Law of Moses and the Law of God?????? Compare our government and the man made laws it produces with the following............. The Ten Commandments were NOT called: the Law of Moses, but rather: the Law of God. The Law of Moses consisted of: (1) the civil laws—the statutes and judgments that Moses relayed to the people from God, recorded in Exodus 21-23 and the remaining books of the Law—and (2) the ritualistic laws (Greek: ergon) added later, summarized in Hebrews 9:10. These ordinances regulated the Levitical sacrifices (Lev. 1-7) and related duties. Ergon means “works,” as in the “works of the law” (Gal. 2:16). This referred to the labor involving Levitical rituals abolished by Christ’s sacrifice. The Ten Commandments were never part of the Law of Moses or the Levitical sacrificial system. The civil laws and sacrifices were based on God’s Commandments, which make up the core of God’s laws. Thus, the Ten Commandments precede and transcend every lesser law based upon them—statutes, judgments, precepts and ordinances. Most professing Christians falsely brand the Ten Commandments as the “Old Covenant.” However, the Old Covenant was based on the Ten Commandments, which preceded and transcended the Old Covenant. Consider this analogy: The idea promoted by most professing Christians—that God’s Spiritual law, the Ten Commandments, has been abolished—is as ridiculous as claiming that the physical laws of gravity and inertia are no longer enforced. Theologians cannot negate God’s law any more than scientists can void the laws of gravity and inertia. How did the leaders of the New Testament Church view the Laws of God? Paul wrote, “Wherefore the Law is Holy, and the Commandments Holy, and Just, and Good” (Rom. 7:12). The Apostle John wrote, “For this is the love of God that WE KEEP HIS commandments and HIS commandments are NOT grievous” (I John 5:3). And Christ summed up the matter, saying, “…if you will enter into life, (meaning Conversion and the new life) KEEP the Commandments” (Matt. 19:17). In Matthew 7:21, He also said, “Not everyone that says unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that DOES the WILL of My Father which is in heaven”! Along with The Lords prayer: Thy Kingdom come, Thy WILL be done on Earth as it is in Heaven............ Question, How are we going to be living out his Will in heaven? By living it out here on earth first!!!! Thy Kingdom come = When you get the Understanding of the Knowledge written and spoken by The Spirit within the book as well as Christs spoken words as if He is directly talking to YOU, by trusting THAT SPIRIT of TRUTH to reside in you gives you light (Understanding) that you have been called out of the world to live a life for HIM with a New Spirit. = A SPIRIT OF TRUTH! Christ and the apostles did not dismiss God’s law. Counterfeit Christianity took this drastic step in the first century—the world has BLINDLY followed this error ever since. False Christianity and Its play on Grace Let’s examine traditional Christianity’s teaching of grace. It teaches that the Old Covenant was the Ten Commandments. It maintains that Christ came to establish a “new covenant” containing only grace and promises—liberty to do whatever one pleases.
