“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10).
The law was perfect and flawless but also harsh and impossible for imperfect man to keep in its entirety. It offered no flexibility at all; by contrast, grace makes allowances for our imperfections and offers us mercy and forgiveness.

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” (Galatians 3:13, 14).
Jesus’ death on the cross radically changed life as we know it—on all levels. Before the cross, man lived under curses; after the cross, mankind now lives in blessings.

“Study and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15, AMPC).
If we can correctly analyze the Bible, we can also incorrectly analyze it. What was true under the law may no longer be true under grace. It’s important to know where the Old Testament stops and the New Testament begins so that we don’t find ourselves living under the old, expired law.

“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises” (Hebrews 8:6).
The new covenant of grace surpasses the law because the promises in it lead to life, not death. The old covenant was administered by long lists of rules and involved mediation by human priests; Jesus Himself, is now our mediator.

“For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth” (Hebrews 9:16, 17).
It was necessary for Jesus to die in order to put the New Testament in force. The cross was the defining line between the old covenant of the law and the new covenant of grace.

“He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, he who rules his [own] spirit than he who takes a city” (Proverbs 16:32, AMPC).
A person with no emotional control is the weakest person on the planet. If we can control our feelings instead of letting them control us, there’s no limit to what we can accomplish.
April 17
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…” (Proverbs 23:7).
The danger of making decisions based on our emotions is that our feelings can lead us in the wrong direction and get us in trouble. Mastering our emotions leads to self-control, which is one of the fruits of the spirit.
April 16
“We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:8).
When we’re in Christ and He’s in us, we’re in the safest place in the universe: His presence. We don’t have to fear death because when we slip out of our bodies, we’ll instantly find ourselves standing before Him in heaven.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2).
Our souls are where our emotions reside. God wants us to exercise the authority He gave us in the emotional realm. When we succeed in controlling our emotions, we prosper in other areas of our lives as well.
