Yes, I agree that we were saved by the grace of God through faith by our Lord Jesus Christ. But, does that negate the Law? |

No, being saved DOES NOT negate the law. You must renew your faith daily in order to not become enslaved, entangled by the law once again. Read Galatians chapter 3, paying particular attention to the 25th verse. Faith allows us not to be enslaved to the law! Praise God! | ||||||

Searcher56: What is your take on Paul's writings to the Galations? In Galations 4: 19 -31 Paul explains that the systems of law and grace cannot co-exist. He speaks of the two covenants as represented by the bondwoman's son and the free woman. The wondwoman's son represented bondage in contrast the the freewoman's son promise. In Gal. 4:28 Paul writes "Now we brethren as Isaac was, are children of promise" and In v. 30 "Nevertheless, what sayeth the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman an her son for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. The problem with the Galations, their were some who were trying to bring those who were free in Christ back under the law. That is why the emphasis in Gal. 5:1 "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free and be not entangled with the yoke of bondage" Freedom in Christ brings responsibility. "For brethren , ye have been called to liberty; only use not liberty as an occassion to the flesh: but love serve one another. For the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" Gal. 5:13-14. The believer is not asked to wall after the law but "Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh" V16 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. In other words those who walk in the Spirit will display the fruit of the Spirit and their lives through obedience to Christ will transcend the law. Peace in our Saviours Name Robert |

This is a repost of mine ... What is the relationship between grace and Law? ... For Christianity, the concept of grace has to do with God's willingness to overlook our breaking His law under the condition that we have accepted the atonement of Christ's death in our place. Without any law, there would be no need for grace. With law, there is need for grace. Can they co-exist or be separated? Explain. ... They must co-exist, see above. What is the purpose of the Law? ... To restrain sinfulness (Gal 3:19) ... To rebuke sin (Gal 3:22) ... To reveal our need for Christ (Gal 3:24) How does "the Law" or any law effect our lives, today? ... The bottom line is this: the end of the Mosaic Law, including the Ten Commandments as a legal code, does not cancel or detract from our obligation to obey the eternal moral law of God. God's moral law is as eternal and as unchangeable as the character of God. Therefore, the abolition of the Mosaic Law code in no way leaves us in a state of lawlessness (Rom 6:1,14; 7:6). Are we told we don't have to follow "the Law"? ... Nowhere tells us gentiles that they are not to keep the covenant of God. Paul says that we should not expect atonement for sin based solely on obedience to some of the commandments. The law itself says blood sacrifice brings atonement. James wrote further, "Whoever keeps the whole law and yet offends (beaks) only one point (commandment), he is guilty of (breaking) the whole law." (Jam 2:10) He is saying, keeping the commandments cannot produce atonement even if it were permitted. At the same time he said "Faith without works is dead." (Jam 2:17). Our faith in God's laws cause us to receive the atonement of Christ's blood sacrifice atones for sin. "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome," (1 John 5:3) |

Dear Searcher: A believer because of his privilege in Christ has a definite responsiblity to obey the Moral and eternal laws of God. Would you not agree that because we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit that we are enabled to walk in way well pleasing to the Lord. In contrast to those under the Mosaic Law who were motivated by fear to keep the commandments. I also agree with your points on the purpose of the Law. I agree that with James 2:17 that faith without works is dead. This is comparable to an apple tree without apples. There must be divine life for the fruit of the Spirit to be evident and is shown by our obedience to Christ and love toward others. I believe however, that Christians have been brought into a special relationship with Christ and as such we are his 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. Each day is his day and what ever we do, we do unto the glory of the Lord. "But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." James 1:25 Robert |

Robert, I do agree with you. Also, the commands we have as Christians are tougher than the OT Law. We couldn't do much without the Holy Spirit andthe grace of God. | ||||||
