Box 1075, Pembroke, N. c. 28372. -Bruce Barton Not Under Law But Under Grace What is the relation of law and grace in a Christian's life? What is meant by "not under law but under grace?" What does the Bible mean when it says that God has promised to write His law in our hearts? Why are people confused about this? Is it true that we cannot earn salvation.... that we may receive it only as a gift? Elder Joseph Bullard invites you to explore what the Bible actually says about law, grace, and salvation in this Search for Truth. There is only one way to be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." There are three other important matters in regards to salvation that we need to understand clearly: 1. We are saved by grace, 2. We are saved from sin, 3. We are saved to obey. Romans 6:14-15: "For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid." The wages ofsin is eternal death?the second death. Romans6:23: "Forthe wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Some understand the word fulfil to mean "do away with," or "bring to an end." However, if 1 asked you to raise your right hand and you did it, you would have obeyed my request-you would have fulfilled my request. This Bible verse is often misapplied. Matthew 5:17: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Some say the Law was nailed to the cross. What does the Bible say was nailed to the cross? Colossians 2:14-17: "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew ofthem openly, tri umphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ." The Bible makes it very clear that these "Sabbath days which are a shadow of things to come" refer to the seven yearly sabbath days during six annual feasts: (1) the Passover; (2) the Feast ofUnleavened Bread; (3) the Feastof Harvest, or the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost; (4) the Feast of Trumpets; (5) the Day of Atonement; (6) the Feast of Tabernacles. But please notice what the Bible says in Leviticus 23:37-38: "These are the feasts ofthe LORD, abumt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon His day: Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD." The law of God cannot save. It cannot make man right with God. Romans 8:3-4: "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." Mortal Law: Written by God: Exodus 24:12. On stone by finger of God: Exodus31:18. Placed inside ark: Exodus31:18. Isperfect: Psalm 19:7. Eternal: Psalm 111:7-8. Not destroyed by Christ: Matthew5:l7. Royal Law: James2:8 Ceremonial Law: Written by Moses: 2 Chronicles 35:12. In a book: 2 Chronicles35:12. Placed on side ofark: Deut. 31:24-26. Made nothing perfect: Hebrews 7:19. Nailed to the Cross: Colossians 2:14. Abolished by Christ: Ephesians 2:15. Law contained in ordinances: Ephesians 2:15. Two Laws Contrasted God will put His law in our hearts and minds. Jeremiah 31:33-34: "But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD. I will put my law in their be their God. and they shall be my people...! will forgive their iniquity, and 1 will remember their sin no more."
