What is the significance of grace in the new covenant as compared to the old covenant of the law?

  1. Grace is conditional, while the law was unconditional
  2. Grace provides freedom from the penalties of the law ✓
  3. Grace eliminates the need for any moral law
  4. Grace only applies to the Jewish people

Explanation

Under the Law, breaking commandments brought punishment and death. But under grace, Jesus took the punishment for us when He died on the cross.

Grace does not erase moral standards or make sin okay. It means we are forgiven and free from sin’s penalty when we trust in Jesus.

This freedom allows us to obey God out of love, not fear of punishment.
