1 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | DocTrinsograce | 150434 | ||
Dear Candy Lee, That was very well balanced and well said. I would add that outside of the effectual grace and redeeming work of God, no man is able to keep the law. "Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone." --Augustus M. Toplady In Him, Doc |

2 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | swerv | 150501 | ||
Hi Doc: I absolutely disagree ! God gave Adam a law in the garden. Even prior to sin God gave a law to be kept. Only through the temptation of satan did man fail God. Jesus told the adulterous woman "to go and sin no more" Is Jesus a liar - can't be - He did not sin !! We now have the power to keep the law through the power of the Holy Spirit and our love for God. In love, Merv |

5 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | DocTrinsograce | 150516 | ||
Hi, Merv... You didn't read closely. I said that *outside* of God's efficacious grace no man can keep the law. "Efficacious grace" is salvific, resulting in regeneration through the power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. In Him, Doc |

6 | Partly under the Law? | Col 2:14 | swerv | 150567 | ||
Doc: As far as I understand the scriptures, grace is the mercy God reveals to man. Noah was only saved becuase of God's grace. Grace is present prior to the NT. God's grace does not save us but rather our faith justifies us. Our faith is reflected in our obedience. Law does not save nor justify the sinner. But law points out our sin and brings us to repentance and right rerlationship to God. Using law as a justifier is where the Jews went wrong because the law was not kept from the heart. God's law remains perfect. It is now written on our hearts as part of te NT covenant. Through the Holy Spirit we who have faith and love for Jesus can now keep the law. We are no longer "under the law" becuase we have the power to go onward "and sin no more" as Jesus told the sinful woman. Jesus's death atones for sin and therefore sacrificial laws not longer exist. The sacrificial laws were to show the Jews the penalty tat Christ would endure to atone for sins. Those laws were a shaddow of the coming Perfect sacrifice. God's grace gives us the opportunity to repent to God and have faith that He has atoned for our sins. But to continue is sin will result in 1 John 2:4. In love, Merv |
