Without the law, there is no need for grace.
Man was given laws by God to obey, but the sin of man kept God at a great distance. The lamb was killed to make atonement for man’s sins. Man continued to be wicked and God needed to do something that would put man back into right standing with Him. God’s plan to redeem man was to make the ultimate one time sacrifice, of His only son Jesus.
When Jesus rose as Lord Jesus, He brought us into grace. Grace is here to help us when we fall short of the law. You know the law, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill etc.. When we fall short and repent, grace gives us the ability to still be used for His glory, just like he used Saul (Paul).
Be Blessed!
