Law of grace

In the sacred and holy construction of the Levitical legal system, the gentle and loving Father planted great truths for comfort, conformity to creation ordinances and a foundation for the decreed plan of redemption by grace, benefiting all creation. From Leviticus 25, “The Lord spake unto Moses” to instruct the people to observe “a Sabbath of rest unto the land, a Sabbath for the Lord”. During the seventh year of each seven year cycle, no pruning, no sowing, no reaping “for it is the year of rest unto the land”. Man then may ask “what shall we eat the seventh year?” The good Lord in his great power and sovereign majesty declares “then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years”. Food for the sixth year following the harvest, the Sabbath year and the year of sowing to follow; keep his law, hope in his grace and rest and enjoy his timely and perfect provision. Think of and marvel at a God who would demand of us in his law, not to get from us anything, only to display his grace in his commands, “neither is (God) worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things”. The same One provides daily needs and stirs the regenerate soul with his power and love, so we will not as Paul told the men at Athens “ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you”. Imagine, a law, that even in the command declares grace and displays glory.
