0047. Grace Better Than Law

Grace Better Than Law

"For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

"For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth" (2Co_3:9-10).

The Law which passed away, had glory; but Grace, which remaineth, excels in glory.

It is by Grace that we are saved, not of works (Eph_2:8).

It is the Grace of God that hath appeared, bringing salvation (Tit_2:11).

It is Grace through which we are justified and made heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Tit_3:7).

We are "justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus" (Rom_3:24).

Our salvation and our election in Christ Jesus are all to the praise and the glory of His Grace. It is in Him, by His Blood that we have our redemption, it is not by the good which we have done, nor by the works of the Law.

Let us get back to Grace. Law says, "do;" Grace says, "done;" Law looks to the flesh, Grace looks to Christ; Law considers salvation a debt, Grace considers salvation a gift.

"Saved by Grace alone,

This is all my plea;

Jesus died for sinful men,

By Grace He set me free."
