Is
sin under the Law different than sin under grace? Well in behavior NO,
it is the same. But in consequence God thru Christ has changed some
things. What do we mean?.
Well for starters, One (Sin under the Law) has the blood of bulls, and of goats, sheep, heifers, lambs to scrub on it but those sacrifices were not strong enough to remove sin. Sin under the Law also had a whole pile of stones and elders lined up finger pointing waiting to cast the first one. Sin under the Law showed little mercy and was dealt with harshly even unto death.The other UNDER GRACE ONE attacks sin with love and goodness, longsuffering and patience from above NOT MORE STONES (Romans 2:1-4) that leads men to repent. It has removed all stones, and pours on it the blood that far exceeds all the blood of those animals, for it is now the blood of God himself poured out thru Christ from the Cross. A far great and more powerful sacrifice was made for our sins in the new covenant not under the law.
Love Himself with His own blood put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. Behold John the baptist cried, Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. (See Hebrews 10:9-14 amd Hebrews 9:6).
Paul in the revelations given him from Jesus (Galations 1:11-12). He penned THESE POWERFUL REDEMPTION TRUTHS. He revealed the mind of God concerning the Law and the Power of the Cross of His Son Jesus Christ and how from the Cross itself Jesus made war with the Law AND CONQUERED ITS POWER which was SINS STRENGTH. Take away the Law Paul said and sin has lost its condemning weight and power to destroy the justified by faith believers. Now understand this, Our Lord did not take away the Laws holy light that forever shines calling us all unto holiness and to SIN NOT, but he came to fulfill the Laws redemption purpose which was to make all of us realize we were sinners and that we all, each and every one of us needed a Savior and the Mercy of God.
Note what Paul wrote from Christ IN HIM, He penned, The strength of sin was the Law (1 Cor 15:56-57), but where there is no law, there is no transgressions (Romans 4:15). WOW...THAT IS POWERFUL LIGHT. THAT IS SO DEEPLY DEEP FROM THE MANIFOLD WISDOM OF GOD IN CHRIST. Writing and declaring those words of our liberty from the law and how Jesus brought us out from under the Law thru the IN CHRIST revelations given him directly from Jesus, well frankly it made a whole lot of religious people snarling mad at Paul for proclaiming such liberty. Many spit back at him, whipped him and stoned him not understanding the love of God behind and in those words he preached and for not understanding the wisdom of God nor the power of God in the blood of Jesus Christ and him crucified. Also in their rant against Paul they often shouted back this which many shout today saying, Paul you preach a license to sin saying that we are no longer under the law and that sin has lost its authority and dominion over us thru Christ. Well friend none of us , not me nor you will ever understand Pauls redemption revelations or that redemption light without the the Holy Ghost in you. You will not have enough eye opening grace in you to see them to be able to connect the dots as Paul by God was graced and empowered and appeared to by Jesus to do (Acts 26:14-19). He heard that he preached a license to sin a lot. Nonetheless Paul never compromised THE GLORIOUS LIBERTY WE HAVE IN CHRIST from the Law. He knew He had to preach the Cross of Christ and his resurrection to the people so that by believing that they would be made new creature in the spirit of their hearts by faith and then receive as he did the endowment of Power from on High thru the infilling of the Holy Ghost that God promised all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
But Paul had special God given him insight into the Cross of Christ, its redeeming purpose and power and wisdom as a gift from God. He knew people sin anyway. With or without the Law Paul knew all people craved sin and sinned MUCH. Paul preaching the liberty we have in Christ from the Law was not giving anyone freedom to sin or license to sin. They were all partying up in sin both Jews and Gentiles the same and were together GUILTY BEFORE GOS. .Just because Israel had the law written on stone and on paper did not itself drive sin out of Israel, nor did it drive sin out of their hearts, nor remove their sin nature, nor did it make Israel not sin or sin free, BUT THE OPPOSITE HAPPENED. SIN BECAME EXCEEDINGLY SINFUL IN THEN NOTED THRU THE LAW..... I mean folks just think about it. The only ones that had the sacred Book of the Law was Israel and by their own prophets testimonies, they said none in Israel keep the law., none were righteousness no not one and Jesus himself called and spanked them with the words, he called them the stoners and the murderers of the prophets. And as for as the Gentiles of the world, they were heathens sinning and sinning everyday like as if you only live once, so dig in and get your fill for tomorrow we die. Plus they bowed their knees to Baal, to false gods/idols that Satan deceived them to worship and to hope in..
Well seeing in this that by the law or without the law EVERYBODY SINS, ALL THE WORLD WAS GUILTY THE SAME OF SIN BEFORE GOD, God in His love for all the world had to deal with the sin of them both. THE SIN OF THE JEWS UNDER THE LAW AND WITH THE SIN OF THE GENTILES who were ceased unto death by Adams one transgression. He had to deal with the sin committed under the Law and He had to deal with the sin of those who sinned without the Law but were slain by the sin of Adam that brought the curse of death to all mankind. So how would God do this? How would He thru the Cross COVER ALL AND REDEEM ALL???
What He did was so wonderfully wise. God from the view of the Cross, he went all the way back to Adams transgression who brought us all into the world and who brought sin and death by his sin into all the world, into all mankind and God battled THAT SIN, and the sins of the Law given Moses from the Cross of Christ called by Paul the second Adam. God battles from the cross the sin of the first Adam that slew us all both Jew and Gentiles (Romans 5:12-14). That Law, that ONE LAW that God gave Adam and Eve in the beginning was the Law that caused the sin of all sins that literally slew all of us, all the world. It was and is the true Law of sin and death of (Romans 8:2). For God said of that sin, For in the day you disobey this law YOU SHALL DIE and we were all BOTH JEWS AND THE GENTILES, we together were all in Adams bag of seeds when God said that. For the first Law that God gave to Adam was given to the sinless who were in the spirit alive unto God and without sin. But the Laws God gave thru Moses was given to a people who like ALL THE REST OF THE WORLD were dead because of Adams trespass and sin. The first Law, the One commandment was given to a sinless Adam, the Law of Moses was given to the offspring of Adams transgression that made them and all of us SINNERS in need of Salvation...more to come....deno.....share freely.
