Therefore, the new law is mainly the same grace of the Holy Spirit given to the faithful of Christ. "As the new law was given to Moses on tablets of stone written, the law of faith is written in the hearts of the faithful. "The core of the new law is in the grace of the Holy Spirit. This is manifested in the faith which works by love. But men get this grace through the Son of God made man, whose humanity filled the God of grace, and she led us.
