The Law of Moses was designed to tell us what to do and not to do: “thou shall love the Lord thy God…thou shall keep the Sabbath holy…thou shall not steal…thou shall not commit adultery…”. These are strong and definite demands made of those who would be followers of the Lord God of Israel. The Bible says the Law is holy and good. The problem is that it just has no ability to make us holy or good. It required total adherence to the commandments but offered no help whatsoever to accomplish that daunting task. If we intend to walk in true holiness before the Lord than we need much more than a desire to do it. We will need the strength and power that only comes to us through the grace of God. One of the things that grace does that the Law could never do is it has the ability to teach us (Titus 2:11,12). Grace will do far more than forbid us, it will instruct us in the very areas we need the most help in: how to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and how to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present world. Jesus Christ came to bring us abundance of grace, which is unmerited favor and blessing. Let that grace teach you what you need to overcome all ungodliness and worldly lusts in your life so that you can fulfill that deep longing in your heart to live soberly, righteously and godly in the here and now. Unlike the Law, grace will never condemn you for your faults and failures. Jesus said He didn’t come into the world to condemn us but to deliver us. Grace is the vehicle that will enable you to live free from sin in a way that glorifies your Father in heaven. You can never be shamed into living righteously but you can be taught to live righteously. Determine to be a good student because you have the best of teachers. If you're willing to learn, grace is ready to teach.
