Subject: verse says no longer bound by old test? |
Bible Note: hey kalos, The reason we say that is because we feel we are free from the law, Rom 7:3. Which verse says we are no longer bound by OT law? I have a couple for you. Rom 7:6 "But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter." We are free and release from the law to which we were once bound. If we were once bound does not that mean that we are no longer bound? Likewise, Rom 6:14-15 says, "For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!" Rom 3:19 says, "Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God". If we are no longer under the law does not the law, therefore, no longer speak to us? Even though there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus it doesn't give us permission to sin. As God's children sin doesn't fit who we are. Your brother in Christ, tortoise |
