…having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. (Col 2:14 NKJV) God now relates to believers on the basis of the obedience of Jesus Christ. God does not attribute their sins to them, but instead delights in them with the love and passion of a proud Father. Now God doesn’t just see us as if we’ve never sinned - He sees us as if we have perfectly obeyed all the laws our entire life! But how can all of this be true when none of us could ever deserve to be given a gift like this? That’s exactly it: Nobody deserves grace. It is a free gift from God, given to those who believe in Him. If we were ever able to earn it, it wouldn’t be called a “gift” anymore, would it? For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. (Eph 2:8 NKJV, emphasis added) 110
Law Grace Making Your Brother Stumble Looking back, it’s easy for us to sometimes laugh about the beliefs we had when we first became Christians. Some of us still get uncomfortable when someone asks us what our star sign is, or the way we hurriedly skip over the horoscopes in the paper. But sometimes on the road to maturity, we may presume to know too much. The Corinthians were proud about how much they knew. In 1 Corinthians 8:1 when Paul begins to talk to them about eating food that has been sacrificed to idols, he says “We all have knowledge.” Now previously they had written Paul a letter, enquiring of him in an almost rhetorical fashion about this matter of eating food that has been sacrificed to idols. They knew that idols were nothing and that there is only one true God. And since Jesus declared all food to be clean, they knew that they could eat anything they wanted to, whether it had been sacrificed to idols or not: "There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man.” (Mark 7:15 NKJV) So being proud of the fact that they knew so much, basically they only expected Paul to confirm their point of view. However, Paul saw right through their pride and pointed out to them that they had become puffed up in their knowledge: Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. (1 Cor 8:1 NKJV) In 1 Corinthians 8:7 Paul continues to explain what he meant by this. The Corinthians, having become puffed up by their knowledge, had neglected to love those around them that were not as strong in the faith as they were. Some Christians who were still immature in the faith did not yet have the revelation that nothing in itself is unclean. Christ through the cross had made everything clean and He removed all curses from us, whether those curses could come to us through food, through ornaments or objects brought into our homes. He took onto Himself all curses or spells that could be cast onto us by witches, Satanists, fortune tellers and wizards; all the curses that could come onto us through disobedience, by eating unclean food, breaking the 10 Commandments or anything else! Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”). (Gal 3:13 NKJV) Paul points the Corinthians to something very important at the end of 1 Corinthians 8:1: “…but love edifies.” Paul had written the Christians in Rome the same thing previously: I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. (Rom 14:14-15 NKJV) Not Just Food… Now this matter of food can be applied to just about anything and it simply comes down to us not being the cause of stumbling to those who are not yet strong in the faith. But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. (1 Cor 8:9 NKJV) 111
