God’s law is not grace, but it is gracious. First, it leads us in this world showing us how God expects us to live in light of how He has designed everything to work. Second, it leads us to Jesus when we are convicted of our disobedience to His commands, and convinced of our inability to desire or do what He tells us. When we put our faith in Jesus, He graciously and progressively overcomes our weaknesses before the law, enabling us to love it and live it. We will obey Him imperfectly, but we can take heart in this… We know that God’s grace is working in our lives every time we willingly do what is right in God’s eyes.
