LAW VS. GRACE

The Law Prohibits----But Grace invites
Ligji Ndalon----Por Hiri tё fton

The Law Curses---But Grace Blesses

The Law reveals sin---Grace covers sin
Ligji Zbulon mёkatin---Hiri Mbulon mёkatin

The Law brings bondage—Grace brings Freedom
Ligji tё bёn skllav—Hiri sjell Çlirim

The Law condemns the best man---Grace saves the Worst man
Ligji ndёshkon njeriun e Mirё---Hiri shpёton njeriun e Keq

The Law says the Wages of sin is death
Ligji thotё, Paga e Mёkatit ёshtё vdekja

Grace says, through faith the gift of God is Eternal Life
--Hiri thotё, dhurata e Perёndisё, pёrmes besimit ёshtё Jeta e Pёrjetshme

• WE ARE DRAWN TO GOD BY GRACE—the Bible says we did not choose CHRIST, HE chose us. John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will last.” --- Isn’t it amazing to KNOW that we were not called to JESUS by human selection—but divine appointment??

• WE ARE JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE ----We are put back into a right standing before GOD -- Rom 3:23-25 “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

• WE ARE SAVED BY HIS GRACE – “ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. “ Eph 2:8 --- The ‘gift’ of GOD is free; not because it’s worthless, but because it’s priceless!!

• WE ARE TRANSFORMED BY HIS GRACE -- 2 Cor 3:18 “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Cor 5:17

• WE ARE SANCTIFIED BY HIS GRACE--
Titus 2:11,12 “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.” --- GOD indeed will complete that which HE has started in us!!!!

Grace depends on GOD ---yield’s to God’s Spirit, lives for others and seeks to glorify God.

Legalism or the Law on the other hand, brings bondage, depends on the flesh, lives for self and seeks the praises of man, as opposed to the glory of God.

CHRIST ALONE BY HIS GRACE LEAVES US:
• Immeasurably Blessed
• Totally forgiven
• Abundantly supplied
• Eternally secure
• Absolutely loved
• Mercifully redeemed

Keep lookin' up friends as our redemption draws near!!!! LIVE THIS DAY FOR HIM, WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR YOU!

Love in JESUS, cindy
