Grace Vs Law ??

Many preachers, often preach about Law, claiming that God is not only love, but also consuming fire.
The Word of God clearly declares “strait is the gate, and narrow is the way.”
Also says “faith without works is dead”
Wrong or true ?
True of course !
So? No man can be saved only by faith ?
How come ?
What about the malefactor whom Jesus saved on the cross.. Where are his works ?

Other preachers often preach about Grace claiming that only by Grace you can be saved without works of Law.
The Word of God clearly declares “a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law”
Also says “as many as are...OF the works of the law, are under the curse”
Wrong or true ?
True of course !
So, only by faith can a man be saved ?
How come ?
What about demons ? They also believe in God and also know Jesus is His Son !

So... what do we do ?
I see people clapping preachers who say No works No salvation and,
I also see people (in some cases same people) clapping preachers who say Faith is enough.
Well ? Who's wrong, who's right ?
Some law preachers often accuse grace preachers and.. the opposite,
and you, maybe a little confused in the center of the “match” Grace Vs Law.

I have a suggestion to make.
Till now, nobody has find biblical mistakes to this suggestion.
Read it, and think about it...

Jesus approaches you with love.
When you accept Jesus with all your hurt, you become born again christian.
You now begin to love God
As long as you stay in faith, you love God more and more..
Why ? Because studying God you get to know Him more and deeper
The more you know God the more you love Him.

During this process you admire God.
God becomes an ideal model for you.

Do you know that any man who has in mind an ideal model
tries unconsciously to be like it ?

When God is really your ideal model you want to be like Him.
Law explains in details many parts of God's personality.
When God is your ideal model you love building a personality like His.
You are not straggling under a pack of commands
You become spontaneous imitator of Christ!

Have you ever seen imitators of Michael Jackson, Elvis, Marilyn ??
Nobody said to imitators that they HAVE TO look like their models.
They just follow stars, study their life, dressing, movement, expressions, 'cause they admire them, consider them as ideal models (idols in many cases)

Your purpose is not keeping the Law. This is for Jews
Your purpose is to Love God with all your power so you just want to be like Him.
You make works not because you HAVE TO , but because you want to !

Nobody has a right to force you be or do something.
A good christian preacher all he has to do is to bring you closer to Christ
A good christian teacher all he has to do is show you God's character.
All the rest come softly and joyfully

God accepts in his Kingdom any man who's in this path.
No matter if someone's in the beginning of the path (malefactor)
or a victor of high forts like Paul the Apostle !.

The more you know God, the more you love Him.
The more you love God, the more you love men..
The more you love men, the more you DO for them...

Law deeds not because of the Law but because of its Instigator, through love of (and for) God
We become doers of the word, and not hearers only
and all these with joy and happiness, always remembering
that God loves a cheerful giver

(i don't straggle under Law but i straggle because of my english. Please forgive any lagnuage mistakes)
