Theme for the Week: FREE FROM THE LAW
Reading: John 1:16-18
_______________________
John 1:17 (NIV)
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
In the fulness of Christ, have we received grace. The law, intended to guide the Israelites in their daily lives and help them maintain a relationship with God, was fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who also offered salvation through His death and resurrection.
While the law has its place in guiding us towards a righteous life, it is grace that ultimately saves us and offers us eternal life with God. This is because the law demanded man's efforts, but grace requires man to surrender their efforts for the power to do of God's will.
Dear friend, the grace of God came through Jesus Christ to teach us that it is not about how best we can work out the Law that makes us right, but it is about believing in Him who made the Law.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we thank You. Lord, may Your grace in Jesus Christ free us from the Law. Amen.
