Law vs Grace

"I am not one of those who treats the grace of God as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping the law, then there was no need for Christ to die"
Galatians 2:21 NLT

THE LAW was given by Moses in the Old Testament.
GRACE came by way of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.

THE LAW says --- Do this and you will live
GRACE says --- Live and you will do

THE LAW says --- Pay me what you owe me
GRACE says --- I forgive all

THE LAW says --- The consequence of sin is death
GRACE says --- The gift of God is eternal life

THE LAW says --- Sin and die
GRACE says --- Believe in Jesus Christ and live

THE LAW says --- Condemnation and death
GRACE says --- Reconciliation and life.

THE LAW says --- Develop a new heart and a new spirit.
GRACE says --- A new heart will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you.

THE LAW says --- Cursed is everyone
GRACE says --- You are Blessed

THE LAW says --- What man must do for God
GRACE says --- What God through Christ has done for me

THE LAW says --- Man is part of the old creation
GRACE says --- Man is a member of the new creation.

THE LAW says --- Man is prone to disobedience
GRACE says --- Man is inclined to obedience

THE LAW says --- Obedience by fear of the Lord.
GRACE says ---- Obedience is a result of love

THE LAW says --- Holiness is demanded
GRACE says --- Holiness is a gift from God

THE LAW says --- Earn your way to God
GRACE says --- Embrace God

THE LAW says --- Sacrifice to earn your way
GRACE says --- Christ was our sacrifice

THE LAW says --- You will be judged according to works
GRACE says --- Judge not

Prayer:
Father, thank you for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to usher in Grace and complete the Law. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
