Law And Grace

When the law was given, men were condemned and cursed and therefore
suffered under the law. For under the law, men were not able to keep the
ten commandments. For it was based on men's effort to be right with God.

Men were constantly under the curse of the law and God was not pleased with
that as He is love and He wants to bless His people and not curse His
people.

For the bible says: And if by grace, then it is no longer of works;
otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer
grace; otherwise work is no longer work. Finding fault with the old
covenant, God seeks to establish a new covenant with men by sending His
only begotten Son to atone for all the sins of men.

With that one complete work at the cross, God had established a new
covenant with His people based on His grace. The new covenant is now based
on His unmerited, unearned, undeserved favour. It is based on Jesus'
finished work! And what a complete work Jesus had accomplished!

We, as children of God, can enjoy His blessings today because we are the
righteousness of God in Christ. Under the new covenant, we can love others
because God first loves us. We can enjoy every good success that God has
for us.

Under the new covenant, it is all about Jesus. For it is Christ who died
for us to make us righteous. For it is Christ who justifies us before God.
For it is Christ who is our holiness. For it is Christ who is our
sanctification. Hallelujah!
