Acts and Paul also show us that obedience to God’s law remains a requirement for his people, even if there are aspects of how we relate to the law that are different now that Christ has fulfilled the law. The grace of Christ is deeper than we can fathom, but this does not negate the need for true obedience. As we have seen throughout the Scriptures, in these books we find a familiar pattern: the life of blessing is the life of obedience to God’s law. And as we saw in the previous chapter, this obedience must be obedience in and through Christ himself.
