Without the law there is no grace

Posted on by asherdc89

As God in the person of Jesus Christ gave His all by laying down His life to save sinners from sin, the sinner gives his all out of loving obedience not to sin against the one who saves him from it.

This is how grace necessitates the law. The law is kept because of God’s love through His grace. Through His grace in the self sacrificial act of His Son as our substitute for sin. After being excused from its penalty, which is death due to transgression; the transgressor no longer chooses to live in sin to keep the law.

The redeemed then freely obey God out of love by keeping His commandments. As a consequence of faith in His love of the sacrifice of His son. And would rather die to transgress God’s law than to wilfully crucify afresh their redeemer again. Hebrews 6:6-8

To not keep the law is to live in transgression. And whatever is without faith is a sin, which is transgression of the law. For sin is the transgression of the law, and the opposite of having faith. 1 John 3:4 and Romans 14:23.

Thus, faith establishes the law. Wherefore, the law is kept by having faith in God’s love through His grace in loving obedience. Romans 3:31

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
