True or False: Grace is harder than Law
My wife said something to me the other day, that I found very interesting, and am tending, at the moment, to believe is true.
She said "Grace is harder than Law".
What she meant is that, for all of the ordinances and commandments contained in the Law, Grace actually demands a whole lot more from us.
As an example:
We are programmed to work for merit; grace demands a reprogramming whereby we trust in the merit of the Messiah, and not our own.
The Law gives us an easily codified set of procedures. Complete them and all is good.
Grace requires a total submission of all that we are so that we can be led by the Spirit daily.
The Law was designed to lead us to Christ.
Grace is designed to show us how to live a redeemed life (something many of us have a truly hard time doing)
And etc.
So, what say you all?
