It is very true. Many people confuse living according to the Laws of God with legalism. Though that is surely possible and does happen, I have not found that to be true with those I know who have a personal relationship with Messiah. This is a very good point that many people balk against and miss out on. Grace is given as a result of our sins transgressing the Laws of Yehovah. In return for that grace, we are to repent, turn from our sins, and turn to love His Laws, as King David so beautifully wrote of in Psalm 119. I read it this morning in the Complete Jewish Bible version. It is SO BEAUTIFUL! I could not believe how many times he spoke of Torah and grace! It is truly inspiring! The only reference I disagree with, that I would encourage you to look into is the phrase "the curse of the law". If that references the man-made laws put onto Yehovah's people by the pharisees, then it is right on, but it cannot reference the OT Laws, as Yeshua walked in them and Paul himself said they are a blessing, and not a curse. Bless you and thanks for these tidbits of devotionals. :) .-= Jacque´s last blog ..<a href="http://jacquedixon.com/?p=5074" rel="nofollow">The Best Kind of Friends…</a> =-.
