As we have examined Law, now let us
examine Grace.
John 1 : 12 - 13 says,
But as many as received him, to them
gave he power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on his
name: Which were born, not of blood,
nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God.
According to the Law, we have
to follow and do something inorder to
be the children of God. But according
to Grace, all those who received Christ,
became the children of God. Grace minimized the rules and it is easy to be the
children of God. A mother is full of love
towards her child irrespective of the
treatment she receives from the child.
The creator who made such a mother
has much greater love
than her towards us
His children. The creator is far above than
the nature of His creation. Our God’s love
is showered on us in
such a manner that we
should receive many
miracles from him
but we are not able to.
Why is it so? What is
obstructing us? The
sermons of Law! And as we are behaving
like children, our faith is not working.
Though we are eligible for great things,
all the sermons of law have made us ineligible.
When Jesus was on the earth,
he asked us to fulfill the scriptures and
follow the commandments. But after his
death, he is asking us to just receive him
to become the children of God. Because
of this, the church will be definitely
blessed. But now we are in a degraded
position. The earth and its fullness is of
the Lord so we have to be blessed, be delivered and also deliver others. The Law
and its teachings have diminished such
a great gospel. The Holy Spirit in us is a
witness to it. And he will lead us into all
truth. Lord Jesus did not teach grace but

he showed grace. The Law is half truth
which deceived us and stole our right to
be the child of God.
John 1 : 14 says,
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
We should only read the Word
of Grace as it is full of Grace. The Word
of Grace is the truth which dwelt among
us. We should listen to the gospel of
Christ taught by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus has delegated the complete work to
the Holy Spirit. Law does not point out
towards the truth but only Grace does.
Even Moses never said that the Law was
the truth.
Now, Let us eaxmine why we
have not been delivered for such a long
time?
John 8 : 30 - 32 says,
As he spake these words, many believed
on him. Then said Jesus to those Jews
which believed on him, If ye continue
in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.
Jesus told that if we were in
the word, then we will know the truth
and the truth will set us free. Grace is
the truth of which we become the child
of God. Let us see this example, A rich
man has a servant boy who is working
for him. The rich man raises this boy as
his own because his own son is lost. As
time passes, the rich man comes to know
that his servant boy is his own child. This
truth sets the boy free as now he need not
work for money. In the same manner, we
need not follow all the commandments
to be the son of God. Because by the
blood of Christ, we have become His
children. Believing this is faith. So, the
righteous live by faith and not by Law.
Let nobody condem us because there is
no condemnation for us.
Romans 8 : 1 says,
There is therefore now no condemnation
to them which are in Christ Jesus,
