Grace exceeds the Law

Most object to teaching on grace because it will give people permission and license to sin.  We believe if we don't have the law, then people will go crazy sinning.  However, the opposite actually happens when people grasp the good news of grace for their lives.  Instead of wanting to sin more, they want to sin less because they understand who they are in Christ and the importance of a relationship with Him.

Listen to Joseph Prince's words from The Power of Right Believing on this topic:

"In every way when you are under grace, not only will you fulfill the commands of the law, you will end up unconsciously and effortlessly exceeding all the demands of the law!

This truth is being shared by many in the church today.  Have you seen it in your life?  Will it work in the church?
