1 | What is your definition of Law and grace | Mark 10:21 | Bill Mc | 13163 | ||
Hi Steve, I'm on the road right now, brother, so I can't give a complete answer, but I believe that the Law, as Paul is using it in Galations must encompass more than just the 10 commandments. Primarily, because the issue that has him all fired up is whether the Gentile believers should be circumcised. But the 10 commandments never address circumcision. Also note that in Romans chapter 7 where Paul says that we were made to die to the Law (vs.4) and that we were released from the Law (vs.6), that these immediately preceed Paul's quotation of one of the 10, "You shall not covet." So this is implication of God's moral law, not the sacrificial or ceremonial laws. As to grace, it's often said, "God's unmerited favor." I.E. it is being looked upon with love and acceptance without regard to whether we deserve it or not. If you would like a wonderful living picture of law and grace, compare Jesus to the Pharisees. Jesus was full of grace and truth. The Pharisees were full of law. Notice the different attitudes they had toward people. In Him, Bill Mc |
