Re: True or False: Grace is harder than Law

I believe that under Grace the law is love. We must love God with all we are and love our neighbor as ourselves. This means that while it might sound like it is easier to live under grace, it is far more introspective and often complicated than the OT law ever was. We must be prayed-up and Spirit led in our love, so that our love is balanced by the Spirit so that we don't drift into human sentimentality. So, the question should always be, "Is it loving?" Is it loving to dress immodestly? Is it loving to eat or drink that which might offend a brother or a sister? Is it loving to ignore worship and fellowship? Is it loving to allow our times of personal devotion to be ignored? Is it loving to be racist? Is it loving to hate or harm our enemies?

In the end, that which is not of love is of ego, self-interest, appeasing to the flesh, and carnal. When we fail to love, we have sinned. In this, the way of love can prove more difficult than having a set standard of laws to mark off the list.
