Jesus also warned about not mixing certain things. He
said, “No one sews a patch of un shrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the
patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results (Mk.
2:21).”
In
commenting on this verse, Dr. Kenneth Wuest wrote, “There are those today who
attempt to retain the Mosaic law which God set aside at the Cross, and put upon
it the patch of grace.
It happens as our Lord said, ‘The new piece that filled
it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.’ When the attempt is
made to mix law and grace, both lose their true identity and you have the
doctrines of the Judaizerisms in the Galatians heresy.”
Unfortunately, many Bible teachers
today insist on mixing law with grace. Mixing vinegar and bleach is not just a
bad idea. It is actually dangerous. It is equally dangerous in the spiritual
realm to mix law with grace.
