B.Christ Redeemed Us From The Law:Galatians 3:13-14 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."14He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 4:4-5 4But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law,5to redeem those under law, that we might receive the full rights of sons. C.The Law Has Been Fulfilled In Us:Romans 8:3-4 3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature,God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,4in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us,who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. D.We Are No Longer Under the Law: Galatians 3:24-25 24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.25Now that faith has come,we are no longer under the supervision of the law.Romans 6:14 14For sin shall not be your master,because you are not under law,but under grace.Romans 7:1-6 1Do you not know, brothers—for I am speaking to men who know the law—that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. 3So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man. 4So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. 5For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. 6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code. V.You Cannot Mix Law and Grace: Matthew 9:17 17Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved." Romans 11:6 6And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. Galatians 3:1-3 1You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard? 3Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort? Galatians 1:6-8 6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! Galatians 5:2-4 2Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. VI. Conclusion: A. God’s Grace is Sufficient. Titus 2:11-14 11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 2 Corinthians 12:9 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. B. We Stand By Faith in the Grace of God Romans 5:1-2 1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith,we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. C.We Are Led By The Spirit of God:Romans 8:14 14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.Galatians 5:18 18But if you are led by the Spirit,you are not under law. |

continued . . . III. The Hopelessness of Life Under the Law. A. The Law’s Standard is Perfection. James 2:10 (New International Version) 10For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. Matthew 5:48 (New International Version) 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. B. The Law Was Amplified By Christ. Matthew 5:27-29 (New International Version) 27"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. Matthew 5:21-22 (New International Version) 21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. C. The Law Stirs Up Sin. 1 Corinthians 15:56 (New International Version) 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. Romans 7:5 (New International Version) 5For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. Romans 7:8 (New International Version) 8But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead. Colossians 2:20-23 (New International Version) 20Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: 21"Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!"? 22These are all destined to perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings. 23Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence. D. The Law is Based on Man’s Self-Effort. Exodus 24:7 (New International Version) 7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read it to the people. They responded, "We will do everything the LORD has said; we will obey." Romans 9:30-32 (New International Version) 30What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; 31but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it. 32Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the "stumbling stone." E. The Law is a Ministry of Condemnation and Death. Galatians 3:10 (New International Version) 10All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." 2 Corinthians 3:7-9 (New International Version) 7Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, 8will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9If the ministry that condemns men is glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! IV. Christ Is the End of The Law. John 1:17 (New International Version) 17For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. A. Christ Fulfilled the Law. Matthew 5:17-18 (New International Version) 17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Romans 10:4 (New International Version) 4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. to be continued . . . |

I never said Doc was not astute, he just may not understand what I believe to be true. You can be astute and not understand the meaning of Scripture. Or, you cannot be astute and still not understand the meaning of Scripture - because only the Holy Spirit can reveal the truth of the Scripture to us.It doesn't matter how young or how old you are, or if you quote from the writers who are deceased. What really matters is what are we going to do with Jesus Christ and what He did for us. I am not throwing stones. I will list some verses that clearly teach we are not under the Old Covenant but under the New Covenant. In human dialogue, the failure of the hearer to understand is often closely related to the fact that they have been brought up a certain way or have listened to man and not God. That was certainly my case. At any rate I will share God's Word that helped me to discover the Grace of God: I. The Purpose of the Law. A. The Law is for the lost. Romans 3:19-20 (New International Version) 19Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin. 1 Timothy 1:8-10 (New International Version) 8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine. B. The Law Shows Man His Need for Salvation. Galatians 3:19-24 (New International Version) 19What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through angels by a mediator. 20A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. 21Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. 23Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. 24So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. II. What the Law is Powerless to Do. A. The Law Cannot Make us Righteous. Galatians 2:21 (New International Version) 21I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" B. The Law Cannot Justify Us. Galatians 2:16 (New International Version) 16know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. Galatians 3:11 (New International Version) 11Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." C. The Law Cannot Give Life. Romans 7:10 (New International Version) 10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. Galatians 3:21 (New International Version) 21Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. To be continued . . . |

Well, I don't want to sin, but I'm not under the law. I don't want to drive 80 mph or I'll get a ticket. It is wrong. I don't want to murder anyone because it is a sin and it is wrong to do so. I will go to jail, etc. There are laws of the land - If I don't obey them I can go to jail, get into legal trouble. So I am just saying we are not under the law, like you quoted in Matthew, Jesus fulfilled the Law. Jesus taught under the Law. The New Covenant of God's grace did not go into effect until the death of Christ, not at the birth of Christ. You just do not have an understanding of Law and Grace, New Covenenant / Old Covenant, and that is O.K. I know what I believe and why I believe it. I know that it is not God's Law that keeps me from not sinning. It is His love and my response to His love. He loved us first and I am His child, like I said before. If you are still going to pin labels on me, I have nothing more to say to you because I am not going to argue with you or anyone. Bottom line - you don't understand. |

No, it is not antinomianism. I AM responsible for my behavior. I do not want to do things that are sinful because I am God's child and I am led by His Spirit who will not lead me to sin. If I sin, it is because of my stupid flesh. Please don't put labels on me that are not appropriate. The only label I want is that I am a child of God - not antinomian, Baptist, Presbyterian, et al. I am not promulgating a heresy. I am sharing Jesus Christ - Your response #1 is correct. The mirror shows us our faces are dirty and we need a Savior. #2 Romans chapter 3: There is no boasting v. 27, We will not nullify it, we will uphold it. Why would we uphold it? It has a purpose for unbelievers, not for believers. #3. God delights in it. Are we "under" it? No. I am not saying the Law is bad. In no way. The Law is good, but it has it's purpose - to lead us to Christ. So, perhaps you understand a little better of what I am saying now. In NO WAY am I easy on sin and we are free to just go on sinning our socks off. I don't want to sin because I have been bought with a price, a precious price. If I do sin, I have an advocate, Jesus. Remember, too that the New Covenant did not take effect until the death of Christ. He was born under the Law and taught it - in fact he amplified it to get under the skin of the pharisees - to show them their hypocrisy. Jesus was pointing us to His cross. I do understand Scripture in light of Scripture - Scripture is like a puzzle, the pieces all fit together. If you just take one piece and make a 'teaching' or a 'doctrine' out of it, you'll run into some problems. Hopefully, I have clarified some of what I said. Thanks for writing. Valoree ps: when you say moral law, are you referring to the 10 commandments? |

10 | what dose this chapter mean? | John 3:16 | Valoree | 179633 | ||
It means that if you trust and believe in what Jesus did for you,( he died to reconcile you to God and He rose from the dead to give you His life living in you)that you will never die - meaning your spirit will never die. We were all born into this world spiritully dead. We need the life of God living in us to make us alive. I can't live the Christian Life - only Christ can through me. I came to the place in my life where I realized I needed a Savior. John 3:16 talks about His inmeasurable love for everyone in the whole world - not just believers - everyone! God gave up His own Son by allowing Him to die on a cross to take away the sins of the whole world. That paved the way for you to receive the Resurrected Life of Jesus Christ - Hope that answered your question - Valoree |

Hello John Grace to you, too!! My posting WAS biblically based. Read the Book of Hebrews - We are no longer under the supervision of the Law! The Law was put into effect to lead us to Christ. We are now lead by the Spirit - Who leads us into all Truth. Jesus is the Truth. Keep on growing : ) Valoree |

None. Actually, it would be the old covenant and the new covenant you are probably referring to. Jesus nailed the old covenant to the cross. He fulfilled it by walking in perfect love. The only "law" we have for us today is to love God with all our heart and to love others as Christ loves us. We are not under the law, and in fact, it was never given to 'us', it was given to the Jews in the first place. I'm sure glad of that. There is no way I could live up to it's standards, not would I want to. Hope that helps. Keep growing : ) Valoree |

13 | Can we be forgiven for murder? | 1 John 1:7 | Valoree | 179627 | ||
When Jesus died on the cross, he died for all sins, past present and future. He took away sin, to be put behind the back of God never to be seen again. So all sins have been forgiven. But then we are not saved by the death of Christ, we are saved by His life. His death cleared the deck for salvation. The whole world has been reconciled to God through Christ. The only "sin" that man is accountable for is his unbelief in Jesus. Jesus said, "the world's sin is unbelief in Me." Hope that helps. Keep growing : ) | ||||||
14 | only begotten son | John 1:14 | Valoree | 179626 | ||
Jesus is the only son of God, begotten by the Holy Spirit. Yet, Jesus claimed to be fully God. Only God can take away the sin of the whole world, past present and future, which is what Jesus did at the cross - because of His love for us. Jesus is not Michael the Archangel. He is God the Son. Hope that helps. Valoree - keep growing : ) |
