I really liked this comparison that Dr. Chuck Missler did on law and grace, so I thought I would post it here.
The law is perfect, that's why imperfect people cannot keep it. See Psalm 19 & 119.
The law is holy, that's why sinners are condemned by it.
The law is just, that's why it can't show mercy to the guilty. Showing mercy is not just.
The law condemns the sinner, but grace redeems the sinner.
The law reveals sin, but grace atones for sin.
By the law is the knowledge of sin, by grace is the redemption from sin.
The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
The law demands obedience, grace bestows and empowers us to obey.
The law says do and do not, grace says it is done, it is finished.
The law says continue to be holy, grace says it is finished.
The law curses, grace blesses.
The law slaves the sinner, grace makes the sinner alive.
The law shuts every mouth before God, grace opens the mouth to praise God.
The law condemns the best man, grace saves the worst man.
The law says pay what you owe, grace says, "I freely forgive you all."
The law says the wages of sin is death, grace says the gift of God is eternal life.
The law says the soul that sins, it shall die, grace says believe and live.
The law was done away (fulfilled) in Christ, grace abides forever.
The law puts us under bondage, grace sets us free.
