Law & Grace
Law and Grace
The law (moral and ceremonial) is what God required of Israel under the old covenant. John 1:17 Gal 3:23-25 Heb 8:10, 10:20
Legalism is a self-defined, or religiously defined set of laws (works) and expectations for satisfying our commitment to Godbased on a misunderstanding of how we come to God and how we walk as Christians.
Rom 6:11-14 Gal 2:20-21 Mark 7:5-9
The “law” and legalistic terms always speak to our “flesh”.
Grace is god acting in our life to reveal, by the Holy Spirit, spiritual truths in the Word of God.
