Legalism and Grace

Grace is the story of the new covenant as opposed to the law, which was the summary of the Old Testament. But, is Grace a license to sin? The answer is an emphatic No. Why? Because we are obedient people but not legalistic people. Legalists believe that to be accepted by God, they must fulfill every law given by Moses. The problem is: you absolutely can’t. And if you fail in one law, you have failed in all. But brethren, Grace transcends that. Grace enables us to be accepted by the Father as we are because righteousness is a free gift. But Grace also challenges us to grow in Holiness which is the outward expression of righteousness
