Grace vs the Law

Usually, when I think of grace, my mind would instantly go to Jesus Christ, but as of recently, it appeared to me that grace is an Old Testament factor also. The Bible says that Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD (Genesis 6:8).It is a lot that can be said about both the Law and Grace, but grace is so comprehensive, that to talk about grace is almost as trying to talk about God. Peter said, but the God of ALL grace (I Peter 5:10).
But, sadly, wolves have come in and have made grace to be an excuse to not live godly in this present evil world, which is completely contrary to scripture (Titus 2:11-12).
The three lawsThere are three kinds of laws.
1. The law of conscience (the moral law) - Every man/woman is born with this law. Adam & Eve were not created with this conscience, they were "innocent". But they acquired it once they ate the fruit of the "knowledge of good and evil". And all his descendants now are born with this knowledge of good and evil. This is written in the hearts of people. Romans 1 & 2 talk about this law.
2. The law of Moses - This law was given specifically to the children of Israel. Non israelites do not come under this law. It was written on the "tables of stone" (2 Cor 3:3). This law was a condition on which Mosiac covenant stands.
3. The law of Christ - This is the law God had promised that He would write in the hearts of people as a part of the New Covenant. This law is different from both the previous laws in that the law of Moses was written externally (on stone), and both conscience and the law of Moses only give knowledge of Sin. They are like mirrors. However the law of Christ is like a natural law, that is it enables the recipient to naturally follow the law, like gravity. If you walk forward at the edge of the roof top, you will naturally fall down, not up. You don't have to put in any effort, it's just natural. The law of Christ has three rules. 1. Faith, 2. Love God, and 3. Love brothers (and even enemies). The moment you put your faith in Christ, the other two are written in your heart. Now you would naturally love God and His people. Therefore a true christian cannot hate. It is not that he should not hate, but he/she is incapable of hating a brother. "He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now." (1 John 2:9). This is GRACE. Because this is not enforced by external means, like if you break this law, you'll have consequences like other laws, but this just changes you inside out. "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh." (Ezekiel 36:26).
Im planning on writing a book on this topic. However I've written a small booklet recently, would love your honest review.

3 JOHN Your last verse in Ezekiel (36; 26) I have spent my entire life savings on that verse. What if it is true? Why is it so hard for people to believe it? Ezekiel never understood the verse because he wrote 27 before 26, and that occurs after a person is given a new heart, that you get rid of the filthiness from the time of Adam and Eve, and the heart your mother gave you. It was contaminated from the time of Adam. The K J B of 1611 says there is nothing that God can't do, and that is what Lucifer's preachers will tell you but they don't believe that the Spirit in Genesis 1:2 (or God's helper) can remove the contaminated heart your mother gave you and replace it with another. (God can't do that they say) But the verse can't be written any plainer. (And a new Spirit will I put within you:) should not be written until a person gets to the 27th verse. It should be written in this way.
"And I will put my (NEW) Spirit (Holy Ghost) within you: 27
Jesus received the Holy Ghost in the mouth when He was baptized by John it reads it lighting on him which is false. It reads it is given WITHIN you, and in St John 14: 17 the Spirit of truth (Holy Ghost) shall (no doubt) be in you. How can it be in you if it is like it reads "lighting upon him"? I'm Elijah the last prophet of Malachi 4: 5 that is why I know all of this, you should get my nonfiction book "Mutton's Decadence" by Mickey R Mullen
Mickey Mullen claims to be the Elijah who was to come...
Jesus Christ clearly states that John the Baptist was the Elijah who was to come...
Enough said!
in this matter the choice is simple...
