God's Grace Does More Than Excuses Us - it Empowers Us

John's picture

I liked an explanation you gave recently regarding how Scriptures about tithing (which were originally spoken to people who were under the Old Covenant or to people before Christ came) have value to us today:

"...because God's grace empowers us to do at least that."

That seems like a good starting-point towards understanding how we can apply those Scriptures, because it doesn't place us back under the Law (which compromising good exegesis regarding the relevance of those Scriptures to us today does) - yet neither does it give a license for lawlessness.

It is gracious, loyal to truth, and it fulfills the Law.

Thanks for that.
