Romans 6:14 – Not Under Law but Under Grace | KJV Right Division

Week 2 · Day 8-3 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” — Romans 6:14 KJV Two powerful truths in one verse: sin shall not have dominion , and ye are not under the law but under grace. These are directly connected. Sin has dominion under Law — because Law cannot empower obedience, only expose failure. Grace changes the power dynamic entirely. ✂ Right Division The Law says do this and live . Grace says it is done — now live. The motivation shifts from fear of condemnation to love for the One who freely justified you. Grace is not the enemy of holiness — it is the only force powerful enough to actually produce it. ✦ Application You are under grace, not law. Let that truth motivate holy living — not from fear of punishment, but from love for the God who, while you were yet a sinner, Christ died for you — Romans 5:8.

Tithing – Mosaic Law or Grace Principle? | 2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

Week 2 · Day 10-1 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV Tithing — giving exactly 10% — was part of the Mosaic system. Israel actually paid multiple tithes annually totaling far more than 10%. This was a covenant obligation, not a freewill offering. Malachi 3:10 was written to Israel under the Law covenant — not to the Church. ✂ Right Division For the Church in the grace age, the principle is radically generous: not 10% but everything belongs to God. Paul teaches cheerful, purposeful, Spirit-led giving — not legal obligation. Second Corinthians 8-9 describes giving that flows from grace received. ✦ Application Give generously. Give cheerfully. Give as God has prospered you — not out of obligation to a law, but out of love for the God who gave His own Son for you. Grace always exceeds law in generos...

Moses the Lawgiver vs Paul the Grace Apostle | John 1:17 KJV

Week 2 · Day 11-1 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” — John 1:17 KJV John 1:17 sets Law and Grace in contrast — not contradiction, but contrast. Moses faithfully delivered the Law God gave him. But the Law could only show the standard; it could not provide the righteousness. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ — the full provision of what the Law demanded. ✂ Right Division Moses wore a veil so Israel would not see the glory fading — 2 Corinthians 3:13. Law is a fading glory. Grace is an abiding glory. Paul writes that the ministry of the Spirit excels in glory — verse 8. We behold God's glory with unveiled faces. ✦ Application You live in the unveiled glory of grace, not the veiled glory of Law. Let the full light of God's grace in Christ shine on you — unobstructed, unclouded, face to face. This is your privilege in the age of grace. Moses · Paul · Law vs Grace ...

Acts 15 – The Jerusalem Council Settles Law vs Grace | KJV

Week 2 · Day 10-4 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.” — Acts 15:11 KJV Acts 15 convened to settle the defining question: must Gentile believers keep the Mosaic Law for salvation? Peter stood and declared — we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, even as they. No distinction. No Law addition. Grace won. ✂ Right Division The Council's decision — Acts 15:19-20 — imposed only minimal practical restrictions for Jewish-Gentile fellowship. The Law as a means of salvation was decisively and permanently rejected at Jerusalem. Paul then settles it eternally in his epistles. ✦ Application Grace won at Jerusalem in AD 50. Grace wins today. Anytime someone adds a law-condition to salvation, Acts 15 and Galatians answer: grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone.

Romans 3:28 – Justified by Faith Without the Deeds of the Law | KJV

Week 1 · Day 4-2 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” — Romans 3:28 KJV Without the deeds of the law. Paul could not be clearer. Justification — being declared righteous before God — comes through faith alone, not through works, not through law-keeping, not through sacraments, not through religious performance. ✂ Right Division Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness — Romans 4:3 — before circumcision, before the Law, before any religious act. Faith has always been the instrument of justification. The Law only reveals what faith receives. ✦ Application You are justified by faith alone in Christ alone. Not faith plus baptism. Not faith plus obedience. Faith alone. Martin Luther rediscovered this in 1517. Paul wrote it in AD 57. Stand in that freedom today.

Why So Many Denominations? The Failure to Rightly Divide | KJV

Week 1 · Day 1-4 · 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV “For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.” — 1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV Thousands of denominations, one Bible. How? Because for centuries, believers have applied to the Church what God said to Israel, and applied to Israel what God revealed to Paul. The result is a mixture that confuses everyone and satisfies no one. ✂ Right Division Right division is not the cause of division — it is the cure for it. When every believer recognizes that Paul's epistles (Romans through Philemon) are the Church's operating instructions for this age of grace, doctrinal confusion dissolves. ✦ Application Choose one of Paul's epistles this week — Ephesians or Colossians — and read it as your direct address from God for this age. Notice how clearly it speaks when you read it as intended. Denominations · Rightly Dividin...
