Saved by Grace?

It has been told to me many times in my life that we are saved by grace and we are no longer under the law. 

The verses that the people who proclaim this are:

Matthew 11:13 “For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John”, and the first half of Luke 16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John...” It all sounds good until you get to the second half of verse 16 and 17 where it says “since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.”

Taking a first look at this verse it would seem as if the law was put away and then it says that that no part of the law will change, not even one tittle. Prior to the arrival of Yashua Messiah the law was practiced in recognition that there would be a coming Messiah who would redeem Israel from their sins. Then John the Baptist came declaring the Kingdom of God was at hand (Matt 3:1-3). Some read these verses and in some way cannot understand that we are in God's Kingdom right now.

All Kingdoms have law and order that the citizens are expected to follow. This is no different with Yah's kingdom. It was written by the Prophet Isaiah in chapter 9 verses 6 and 7 that the most high will come to earth and establish his earthly kingdom. He paid the price for Israel to be redeemed from their sins, and he is our kinsman redeemer for all time.

He is our Kinsman redeemer, and we are not able to redeem ourselves no matter how good we try to be, how much money we give to people who pretend to know all the answers, nor if we do good works. We cannot do it by ourselves in any capacity at all. During our redeemers ministry he stated, and made it clear, that he came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17).

So anyone that teaches that the law has been done away with has not read the scriptures. It is true that the messiah did save us by grace, (as we cannot redeem ourselves and are undeserving) but this does not give us the go ahead to break his laws and commandments in any manner we see fit. Any time his law is broken after we have been redeemed we are then putting the chains of sin on once again. When we come to the Messiah and confess our sins, we can once again both have fellowship with him and his grace makes us clean. 

One closing point I want to make to anyone that reads the bible and still does not believe they are to live under the laws of God is that if the law has been done away with, then it would be impossible for anyone to sin because

Sin is the transgression of the law, and I mean Yahweh's law not Man's law (1 John 3:4).

I pray all of Israel will hear the call of Yahweh (John 6:44) and be redeemed by our Messiah!
