HOLDING FAST TO GRACE is a careful, biblical study of the Christian’s relationship to God’s grace and the Law of Moses. The conclusion is reached that the believer in Christ in the present age is under God's grace as a rule of life (Rom. 6:14) and not under any part of the Mosaic system, including the Ten Commandments, as a means of sanctification. Aldrich distinguishes between the eternal moral law of God and the Ten Commandments in a way that demonstrates from Scripture that genuine righteousness in this age of grace stems from the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit while avoiding the imbalances of licentiousness and legalism. Regarding the imbalance towards legalism, Aldrich writes, “No modern legalist wants to climb to the top of Mount Sinai with its fire and thunder; but many think it is a good thing to take a short hike up its foothills. But to touch the mountain at the bottom was as fatal as climbing to the top (Heb. 12:18-21). The unity of the Mosaic law leaves only two alternatives―either complete deliverance from or complete subjection to the entire system. It will be shown that the first of these alternatives is clearly taught in the New Testament” (p. 57).
