What does the Bible say about the difference between law and grace?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that law and grace are distinct and cannot be mixed, as seen in Galatians and Exodus.

The Bible makes a clear distinction between law and grace. Exodus 20 provides the law, which acts as a mirror to reveal our sinfulness and responsibility to God, but it does not provide a remedy for sin. In contrast, grace, as proclaimed in the New Testament, acknowledges our inability to meet the law's demands and offers salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Mixing the two results in confusion, as the law condemns while grace liberates. Galatians 5 clarifies that if we seek justification by the law, we fall from grace, highlighting that salvation is solely by grace through faith.
