I WANT TO GO INTO A MESSAGE WE WILL TITLE “LAW V/S GRACE,” BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH MISUNDERSTANDING BETWEEN VARIOUS GROUPS WHO RECEIVE OUR MESSAGES. NATURALLY WE GENTILES HAVE NEVER LIVED UNDER THE LAW GIVEN TO MOSES, BUT WE DO HAVE RESPECT FOR IT, KNOWING IT EXPRESSES THE MIND OF GOD AS HE WAS DEALING WITH A PEOPLE WHO WERE STILL LOOKING FORWARD TO A DELIVERER. IT SETS FORTH TYPES POINTING TO THE DELIVERER THAT WAS TO COME AND IT ALLOWS US TO GAIN UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY GOD LOOKS AT THE THINGS WE DO, SAY AND ALLOW, BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF DOES NOT CHANGE. HIS STANDARD OF RIGHT AND WRONG, AND OF HOLINESS IN THE LIVES OF BELIEVERS REMAINS THE SAME THROUGHOUT ALL TIME. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF WHETHER WE WILLINGLY DO THE THINGS THAT WE KNOW HE IS PLEASED WITH, OR WHETHER WE ARE SUBJECTED TO A LAW THAT FORCES US TO DO THOSE THINGS. THEREFORE I ASK THAT YOU WOULD LISTEN TO, OR READ THE MESSAGE PRAYERFULLY, AND ALLOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO DEAL WITH YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
