People have taken what was the then-proposed MEANS to love and pure faith and made it the destination. Law was comprised of Sabbaths, etc. And law was only a means to get man to love God through doing things like keeping sabbaths. But that did not work. So, a NEW means to that end arrived. GRACE!
Read the sequence of thought:
1 Timothy 1:5 KJV Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Romans 8:3 KJV For what the law could not do (
1 Tim 1:5), in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
1 Timothy 1:14 KJV And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
