Romans 3:9-19
"What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way: for we have before proved both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin; as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after YHWH. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace have they not known. There is no fear of YHWH before their eyes. Now we know that whatever things the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law, that everymouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before YHWH."

The hymn "Amazing Grace" is probably the most well known anthem of Christianity. The song was written by the captain of a slave-trading ship named John Newton. After his conversion, Newton left the horrible seas and eventually joined forces with a member of the European parliament to end slavery. Newton was successful, as a bill written by his partner William Wilberforce was passed to outlaw slave trade in 1807. Heavenly amazing grace had taken the wretch of a sinner like John Newton and transformed his life.
Somehow, it has become a mainstream Christian belief that God has changed to now accept people through grace when they were once accepted by obedience to the Law of Moses. The God of grace has been incorrectly portrayed as dealing with people differently at different times. This demonic idea insinuates that what was wrong to do during the "dispensation of the law" is no longer a sin because Christians are now "under grace." The doctrine of "dispensationalism" was made popular by the Scofield Reference Bible and is now ingrained in the mind of most church leaders. The word "dispensation" appears only four times in the KJV and never to infer that there are different periods of God's temperament. The Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary says, "The modern theological use of the term is not in Scripture." There is no such thing as an "age of grace" or the "dispensation of grace." 
Grace doesn't replace the Law. The Law doesn't replace grace. The two work together to transform lives. The amazing grace that changed the life of John Newton is still available today. The lost can be found and the blind can see if a person will accept grace and then live in righteousness.
