Locate and discuss at least two passages that deal with Law and Grace.
In Galatians 2:11-21, Paul takes the occasion of Peter’s sin regarding the ceremonial law to admonish the Galatians. He uses strong language to show that law-keeping can never lead to justification: “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified" (2:16). He goes on to make clear that righteous living (“I might live unto God” 2:19) is only done by faith in the Son of God, which is of grace. Thus our law-keeping is a fruit of our right standing with God, born of our union with Christ – not the grounds by which we come to God. For “if righteousness comes by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" (2:21).
Romans 6:1-23: In this chapter, Paul shows that our freedom from the law is not a license to sin. By grace, we have been liberated from sin (“we died to it” 6:1; “no longer be slaves to sin" 6:6), set free to become slaves to righteousness as worshipers of God. No longer does sin reign over us. Moreover we now obey from the heart; “though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, and having been freed from sin you became slaves of righteousness” (6:16-17). Grace does not free us from obligation, but from striving in vain after works-righteousness, and the wages of our sin: death.
