John and Doves,
 
I know this can be a hard issue to understand about the LAW and GRACE....which? I tell you it is BOTH! You will need to reconcile this with the Lord, not me. Here is the verse:
 
Revelations: 22:14............Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
 
OR those who DON'T:
 
Revelations: 22: 15..............For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolators, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
 
YBIC
