Grace changes us and the way we think, renewing our minds.
I have read the blessings and curses for obedience and disobedience in Deutronomy and have been contemplating on the stated commandments. The set of commandments for which these will be applied are those commandments God has given to Moses for Israel. But the Israelites, because of the fall of man, wasn't able to do everything written on it, thereby the curses. The law makes us aware of sin. The law just shows how sinful we are and that we need His grace. If not with it, we won't be aware of our death.
“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”
Romans 3:20 NIV
When we become conscious of our sins through the law, it wasn't for condemnation but for salvation. It was for us to understand we cannot save ourseves on our own--we need Him.
