Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
John 1:17, “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
The Lord’s voice under the new covenant comes as an inner infusion and supply.
Galatians 3:21 says, “Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.”
God’s voice under the old covenant was correct and proper in itself, but as an outward law it could not give life.
It could not infuse and supply life.
It could only tell you what to do.
No doubt, the law given by Moses accurately defined our condition, but it could not supply life to carry it out.
Grace and reality coming through Jesus Christ is different from an outward law being handed to us.
Grace and reality is the Lord Himself in person coming to us to infuse His very life into our being.
The law was given but grace came.
There is a big difference.
For example, I can communicate with you in two ways.
I can send you a letter, or I can come in person to communicate with you.
The law given by Moses is like receiving a communication by letter.
But grace and reality coming through Jesus Christ is receiving a communication from Christ Himself.
When He comes in person, we receive direct infusion and supply.
This supply is the new covenant way God speaks to us.
His speaking to us is His simultaneous supply into us.
Jesus said in John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
The very words themselves are spirit and life.
Thus, His speaking means infusion and inner supply.
