Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: Brad: Exactly !!! Sin shall no longer be master over us !! Why -- because we will keep the law !!! That is why Jesus says "If you love me keep my commandments" Being "under the law" does not mean - we are obliged to keep it. No no !!! It means to be guilty of it !! Being no longer under the law (Rom. 3:19) means we are no longer guilty before God because we have accepted the perfect sacrifice for our "past" sins. Now that we are free from being guilty before God or "under the law" we can now go forth with the power of the Holy Spirit to live in love and obedience to God. We will no longer willfully sin if our heart is changed by what Jesus did for us !! In love, Merv |
