Many people do not understand that we not only need "grace," but we also need the "law;" it can cause confusion. Consequently, we have two groups:
• one that says all we need is "grace."
• while the other says all we need is the "law."
They both are wrong.
We need "grace," and we need the "law;" they go together. We need "grace" first, which is the blood of YAHUSHUA, to cleanse us from our sins because we did not keep the "law;" we transgressed the "law." It is because we transgressed the "law" that we are given death. The Father sentenced us to death, this death being in the lake of fire, eternal death.
All of creation was lost due to our sins, and we all have come short of the glory of YAHUAH; He sent His Son, YAHUSHUA, to shed His blood and to bring us out from under the death sentence. If transgressing the "law" got us in all of this trouble, then when YAHUSHUA came; sacrificed Himself and shed His blood, it caused us to have our past sins forgiven. This being the case, why would we continue to break the "law?" That is what got us in trouble in the first place. To avoid repeating this mistake, we must begin to keep the "law."
This book shows the importance of both; we need "grace" first and then the "law." We will examine the writings of the Apostle Paul and see he was not speaking against the "law."
He was telling us because we had this death sentence hanging over our heads and we transgressed the "law" of YAHUAH:
1. Keeping the "law" is not going to help;
2. A "circumcision" is not going to help us;
3. Keeping the "Sabbath" day is not going to help us;
4. Keeping the "Feast days" will not help us.
Those things are part of the "law" and we must do them but we have a problem coming out of the gate. We have transgressed the "law" of YAHUAH; therefore, we are "lawbreakers." We need the blood to get back on track: on the road to righteousness and holiness, before our ELOHIM.
There are many layers to unpack regarding "Grace and Law;" Get ready to dive deep into what will finally bring understanding to what it is all about. Remember, when it comes to whether we should keep the "law" and do away with "grace" or should we be under "grace" and do away with the "law?" We need them both.
It is the blood of YAHUSHUA that justifies us and it is the "law" that will maintain our justification.
