Grace And The Law

Have you ever heard a preacher say that Christians are under Grace and not the Law? I even heard a minister with a large TV following say that the ten commandments don’t apply to Christians. That is not what Jesus teaches us.  Jesus actually expands the scope of those Laws given to Moses to apply to our thoughts and feelings as well as our actions. If we lust in our mind we are guilty of adultery and if we hate in our heart we are guilty of murder. Then Jesus adds His commandments to love each other, our neighbor and even our enemy. The Christian life has never been about Grace or God’s Law. My life for over seven decades has been under Grace for Salvation and under God’s Law for obedience to my Heavenly Father. I am so thankful for the Holy Spirit to give me strength to live under both.
