As "it is written", (multiple times) "Jesus is the sweetest name I know." Since we now members of the "click/pop" generation I would like to invite the readers of TW to this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3lK-s7bFTY. Brother Skip, I believe you have "rightly defined" love as "benevolence toward another at cost to myself." This "benevolence" has another name which I believe is very close to the second most beautiful words known to man: "grace". Yes, we rejoice in G-d's law, but not until we are partakers of G-d's grace. Until we are recipients of G-d's grace, G-d's law stands to condemn us. (He that offends in one point is guilty of all) I don't have to worry about 613 rules for living when I know my sinful, leprous, state of being before a G-d who has declared himself holy. G-d's perfect law (send out thy truth, send out thy light) serves as a white-hot, holy,glaring spotlight to expose the rot, decay and filth in my soul. (very similar to a dentist shining a bright light in my mouth to examine the condition of my chompers). Yes, G-d is a G-d of order. ("Let all things be done decently and in order"). In G-d's domain everything and everyone has a proper place of order. Grace is the trump card. "By grace, through faith, unto good works." 1,2,3. It is the "goodness of G-d" that leads us to repentance. The "goodness of G-d" is grace. G-d's benevolence and beneficence towards us at great cost to Himself. The value of any item is determined by the price I am willing to pay for it. What was the worth of my soul? What price was paid to ransom this man? What lengths did G-d go to and to what depths did He descend? This is grace. And yes,.. it is "amazing." We are (all) sinners in need of a Savior. Who shall deliver us? - we cry out with Paul. We have a Deliverer. We have a Savior. We have One who is able to save them to the uttermost those who come unto G-d through Him. Thank you Sovereign Savior. G-d you reign. Amen.

Yes, we rejoice in G-d’s law, but not until we are partakers of G-d’s grace. Until we are recipients of G-d’s grace, G-d’s law stands to condemn us. (He that offends in one point is guilty of all) I don’t have to worry about 613 rules for living when I know my sinful, leprous, state of being before a G-d who has declared himself holy.

Where did He do that in the NT and from which play was it? I know Jude quotes from the Book of Enoch, but I can't find the references that Yeshua used. I am meeting with a group on Monday mornings and we are discussing biblical inspiration. They have asked where Yeshua did this. I can't help them.
