The law of God: Is it still applicable or relevant today or did Grace do away with the Law?

The law of God: Is it still applicable or relevant today? 1 John 5:3 Let’s look at God as the Architect. Now if as an architect you draw a plan n design your model, firstly you take a piece of land where there are trees, grass and stones all over and you clear the place.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, Nameless unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyses Need efforts to convert retreat into advance. – Martin Luther A.
