  5. Complementary Roles LAW The Law is God's instructions concerning the moral, social, and spiritual behavior of His people found in the first five books of the Bible.

  6. Complementary Roles LAW It was a covenant of works between God and man and was (and is) unable to deliver us into eternal fellowship with the Lord because of man's inability to keep it.

  7. Complementary Roles LAW The Law is a difficult taskmaster because it requires that we maintain a perfect standard of moral behavior; and then when we fail, the Law condemns us to death.

  8. Complementary Roles GRACE Grace is unmerited favor. It is God's free action for the benefit of his people. It is different than justice and mercy:

  9. Complementary Roles GRACE Justice is getting what we deserve; Mercyis not getting what we deserve; Graceis getting what we do not deserve.

  10. Complementary Roles GRACE God's Riches At Christ's Expense. Grace rules out all human merit. Given by God through faith because of who He is and not because of whom we are. Grace brings life!

  11. Complementary Roles The old written covenant ends in death; but under the new covenant, the Spirit gives life.(2 Cor 3:6 NLT)
