[QUOTE="Greg J., post: 70241581, member: 385249"] It is no offense to God if I were to manage to ignore the Law but somehow keep the law of love. We have finished keeping all of the Law; it is no longer a yardstick. It is a way to know God's nature. It can be used as a template to do things pleasing to God, but it is no benefit to us to obey any of the Law unless it is from the heart, and it is the heart that pleases God, not what we do out of the Law. Because this grace is so difficult for so many people (often raised with rigid rules) to digest, it is sometimes a good idea to avoid keeping the law (so that their struggle will be against the right thing and God can transform them), except where it is and expression of love to God, or a matter of conscience. But the expression can be anything, not just out of the Law. An expression of love not related to the Law far surpasses any act of keeping the Law, however, if you are trying to keep the Law as a way to say "I love you" to the Lord, that's good. But other things are just as good. [/QUOTE]
