"The Word became flesh...the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of GRACE and truth...The law was given through Moses; GRACE and truth came through Jesus Christ." (John 1:14-17 NIV)
As righteous as the Law of Moses was, it came to us through Moses and the result was that it put us in bondage and we all die as sinners.
"For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the Law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death. But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the Law, so that we serve the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code...the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death" (Romans 7:6-11 NASB)
Jesus came to earth with the GRACE of God, to save all sinners with the free gift of eternal life.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord...as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive" (Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 15:22NASB)
