The law is the righteous requirements given to the nation of Israel to keep them seperate from the Gentile nations for the purpose of being a light of God's love to the Gentile nations. The law was the standard of righteousness.
This would include the Ten Commandments and the two great commandments to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love others as you love yourself. It would also include everything else in Exodus 19-Deuteronomy.
The Gentiles were never under the law. |

A popular phrase around the world is “Fake News”. This is due to many people in the media who present news stories as truth, when in reality, these stories are false, or mixed with a little truth and a lot of error.
Just as there is fake news in the media, there is fake news in many churches. These churches present a message to people that is filled with incorrect teachings, yet are presented as biblical. These teachings are circulated throughout the church in a variety of ways: sermons, small groups, Sunday school classes, discipleship programs, mentoring relationships, counseling sessions, revivals, and conferences. |

Immediately after teaching a class on grace, John, with joy in his heart and a smile on his face, came up to me and exclaimed, "All I had to do was nothing...just believe and receive!"
Like many of us, John was very aware of the sin in his heart and life. With Godly sorrow, he had admitted his sin to God and others. And, like many of us, after admitting his sin, he set out to earn God's love, forgiveness, and acceptance. For years, John had been trying to earn God's love, forgiveness, and acceptance through religious practices and good behavior. |
