I think Paul did say somewhere in Romans or Corinthians (maybe one?) that by knowing the Law, he's tempted him to break it. He also confess.
That is design of the Law, you more you want to uphold it, YOU WILL BREAK IT.
The Law is not meant for you anymore, look to Christ, away from the Law.
That is why when I wrote this devotion is in line with scripture.
Bible devotion with UWGrace came to kick out the Law!QUOTE
John 1:17 (KJV) - For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
The Law was given to Moses But Moses is not the Law, he is a typology of the old covenant.
So when Jewish people says we have Moses, He is a reference to the Law.
The Law was given on Mount Sinai. When the Law was given, there was
distance between the people and God.
Darkness, gloom and thunder, people were terrified, even if animal touch the base of the mountain, it will die.
Think for a moment if Law is really what God wants for his people. Does God want distance between Him and the people through the Law?
Today we have all sorts of religion in this world eyeing and vouching for the law.
It is represented in all the religion of this world. ALL OF THEM.
But Grace and Truth
Came by the person of Jesus Christ.Truth stands with Grace. Notice that truth did not come via Moses but via Grace and by the person of Jesus Christ.
Grace and Truth is the person of Jesus Christ. It is not a subject or a doctrine.
Grace is Jesus Christ.
The Gospel is called the Gospel of God's Grace (Jesus Christ) (Acts 20:24 & Galatians 1:6)
Act 20:24 (KJV) - But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the
gospel of the GRACE of God.Galatians 1:6 (KJV) - I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the
GRACE of Christ unto another gospel:
If you are vouching for the Law to be introduced back into the body of Christ, you are preaching another gospel. That is what Galatians 1:6 means.
What is the Law? Anything the exerts the effort of Man, be your obedience or your works. Do you know the Law brings death? The Bible calls it a ministry of death. (2 Corinthians 3:7)
Even if an animal touch the base of the mountain, it will die! Do you think for a moment God wants that? To give you death? (Exodus 19)
But Grace brings Life. It brings closeness with God. Jesus came to Heal, Deliver and Raise people from all that is of Death to Life. Everything that the Law could not give or do, Grace CAN!
Moses was only a servant representing the Law but Jesus is the SON OF GOD who is Grace and Truth. Who is the greater one?
Someone told me, IN THE DAYS OF THE OT!!!! Things are very serious with God! People were judged with death, people died, so walk circumspectly! Fear God! You will be judged for every sin you committed, every words you said and every act you've done. FEAR GOD yoooooou people!.
In my heart reaction, this is what I heard.
It's because you rejected God's grace and presumed on your own sense of righteousness so you got what you asked for.
Dear Friends, the Gospel has always been about the God's grace. Nothing short of it.
What is Grace? It is unearned undeserved favor with God. That is what Jesus came to give.
During the period Grace, No Israelites died even though they sin by murmuring. That is what Grace can do for you.
If you reject this, you have no choice but to depend on the Law and that my friend will bring you to the end of all Hope because you cannot.
I even heard people from other religion saying there's beauty in the law of their religion. I only feel sadness for people saying things they do not understand.
Did you know that Grace came to Kick out the Law? (Read Galatians 4:21-31, See Galatians 4:30!)
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Choose which side you're on.
God Bless.
