Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

verse 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

verse 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy,and just, and good.

It is not just SOME of the law, it is ALL of the law that is holy and just and GOOD.

This is a theme THROUGHOUT the Scriptures, but Paul being the equivalent of a DOCTOR of the law (and respected throughout all of Israel as an EXPERT in the law) came to understand the BALANCE that grace brings (which Israel was ignorant of) and the Divine importance of both to come to a FULL and complete understanding of what is required of us.

When we consider that ATONEMENT was possible throughout the ENTIRE Old Testament, was it the blood of bulls and goats that provided the GRACE? Was their atonement nothing but analogy and metaphor? Was it actual or was it make believe? When we consider that the blood of Christ was available to us and WOVEN into Creation from day one, the blood sacrificed by animals was as the VERY BLOOD SHED BY CHRIST. It is in this sense that Grace and Truth(the law) kissed each other in the plan of Salvation. "To the Law and to the testimony" (grace). If it is NOT according to the Law and to the testimony, there is NO TRUTH in it. We cannot pick and choose which law is viable. We also cannot pick and choose when grace applies. Satan has had MILLENIA to confuse us on this issue. Jesus came and FULFILLED THE LAW. This does not mean He did away with it. (not 1 jot or tittle...). He fulfilled it with His Blood. Otherwise, ALL those sacrifices of the Old Testament would have been pointless and they all would have died in their sin. That includes the Patriarchs and the Prophets as well as the Kings and the Priests.

I can empathize with the concept and the difficulty in coming to the FULL Truth of this issue. I cannot judge and am HAPPY to just see seeking souls search out the Scripture as for hidden treasure. We can only pray that ALL issues that divide us through Satan's sophistries will be revealed to us and after having DONE ALL, be able to stand in the Last Day.
