Are you really asking what grace is?
It is unmerited favor given without requirements, but not without reciprocation.
Don't you know what happens after grace is received?
Grace is an attribute of God toward us.
John 1:16-17 (KJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Now I will ask you some questions. Has anybody said that the law saves? I haven't ever read something like that from the so called judaizers and legalizers. The law came first from God. It didn't come through man.
The question that I ask, and will not strive with arguments is this. Do you think that the instructions given by God because of transgressions are no longer useful for enlightenment? If you say no, they no longer apply, then it is obvious you are satisfied with knowing less than God has intended from the beginning.
Four more questions.
1. If Jesus is the creator of all, as Paul wrote to the Colossians, why does His first words He gave to Moses mean nothing to you in difference to His teachings in the 4 gospels?
2. Did you know that all that Jesus taught before His death was Old Testament?
3.If all that God has given to mankind is through grace, why not accept all of it in Spiritual truth?
4.Is the law beyond your comprehension because it can only be seen as physical?
I get the impression that you hate the Mosaic Law, and want to negate it because of the grace you desire.
Romans 8:6-9 (KJV)
[SUP]6 [/SUP]For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
The law doesn't cause enmity in my heart, mind, and soul. In fact, knowing the spiritual significance of the law increases my worshipful response toward a God that is totally awesome through our Savior, the One and only Messiah Jesus Christ. I'm sure you will have no argument with the way I believe now.
