The Dance Of Law And Grace
Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: There are ditortions and blessings of both law and grace. It is not one or the other, but a dance of the two.
So it is with us. There is that awful moment when the grace of God reveals our sin to us in all its terribleness, and at the same moment helps us to see the love of God that is willing to come to us and cleanse us of our sin. In the words of the hymn: “ ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.”
This is the dance that moves us toward God. The melody of God’s love is being played, and the dance of faith helps us to move one foot, then the other, in a rhythmic movement toward the God who waits to embrace us and continue the dance.
