I read a great quote out of Brad Young's book, 'Meet the Rabbi's'... it still has me thinking about the full extent of its meaning:
"In law there is grace; in grace there is law."
What is your take on this quote?

"In law there is grace;"
My take: In 'law', or our Christian walk which comes with some conduct standards, there is room for us to mess up, get up and dust ourselves off. We're allowed to be human - we just try to reach a certain standard. Basically, we try to live a life pleasing to God but if we muck up, as we will, He is a forgiving God. Error is not the end of the world.
"in grace there is law."
My take: We mustn't take the grace of God for granted. There is grace but we mustn't think we can just go out and sin because "He's a gracious God who will forgive us". We still have to try! Grace is there for when we fall anyway.
To sum up: There is a Christian way of living, we strive to live it but if we make mistakes, God loves us anyway and gives us another chance!
