Although the law came by Moses, grace, mercy , -forgiveness , love^ and truth came through Jesus Christ , our
salvation "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and
truth_ came by Oesus C h r i s t " (Jn .I-IV)

For vJesus
fulfilled
the law and became
the end of the law so that
it passed away-"Think not that
I am come to destroy the law ,
or the prophets I am not come -to destroy, but to -fulfil."
..''For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to
every one that believeth." (Mt.5:IV;Heb.~7t2,l8;Rom.lO:4)
J e s u s therefore
brought a new law of love, which more
than fulfils the Mosaic Law

We are saved

by -faith in God's love,His mercy

and His

grace

and truth in J e s u s C h r i s t . Therefore t h e Apostle

James
says that we who do the will or the love or God now dwell
under a new law} a perfect
law of l i b e r t y , freedom
from
the old law. OJbs./-' 2 5 ) T h e r e f o r e , since we do all that, we
do in love , all things are now lawful t o us in love, including
our sexual freedom, as long as it is done in the
unselfish,
sacrificial
love of God.
(lCor.6i2jO:23)"AlLthings
are lawful unto m e . "

There-Fore
whatsoever
you
do in the unself
ish
sacrificia
love of vJesus
is right and
lawful /
Whatever
you do in loye^
is the law
and
that's
all, that's
it!
God's only law
is love.'... Now
all things
are
lawPul unto us
in love, praise God
As long as it's done
in love it keeps God's
only Law of Love.'

Have you- accepted

God's
love in J e s u s C h r i s t a s
your own personal Saviour ?
Do you have God's
Spirit,
of Cfesus_ in your- h e a r t ?
Do you love Him and o t h e r s ^
as much a s you do yourself;
Do you do unto others.
as you would have them
do unto you 9
If so, you a r e free
from
the old dead Mosaic Laws /
Now all you must do is keep
vJesus' Law of Love ! But
it is greater and
stricter
even than the old Mosaic
Law, because now everything
you do must be done in His
love!
May God bless you
with His
truth,
freedom and love!
In Jesus' name, amen.
