Are We Under a Law?

Are We Under a Law? Is law just an Old Testament concept? Logic proves that a law currently exists Sin is breaking the law (I John 3:4) All have sinned (Rom. 3:23) Therefore, there must be a law (Rom. 4:15)

Are We Under a Law? Are we under law or grace? (John 1:17) “The Law” = The Law of Moses If grace and truth are incompatible with law, the Law of Moses couldn’t have had any grace or truth Moses did not offer the fullness of grace and truth Something greater than the Law was required (Gal. 6:14) Mercy and grace are what law-breakers need, and we get it through Christ, not Moses

Are We Under a Law? Are we justified by faith or by works? (Rom. 3:28) Many Jews rejected Christ and believed they could be justified by the Law (Rom. 3:21-27) Redemption is to be received by faith in Christ Justification is by faith, and there is a “law of faith” (Rom. 3:27)

Are We Under a Law? Are we under law or led by the Spirit? (Gal 5:18) Galatians condemns regression to the Law of Moses Freedom from Moses, not freedom to sin (Gal. 5:16-21) No law against the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) The “law of Christ” (Gal. 6:2) The “law of the Spirit” (Rom. 8:2) The choice is between following the Law of Moses and following the Spirit’s/Christ’s law

Are We Under a Law? A new law was prophesied The law would go forth from Zion (Isa. 2:2-3) The law would be written on the hearts of God’s people (Jer. 31:33; Heb 10:16) There was a change in the priesthood and the law (Heb. 7:12)

Are We Under a Law? Paul adapted to his audience, but he was never free from God’s current law (I Cor 9:19-21) Perfect law of liberty (James 1:25; 2:12) Liberated from sin, not from God’s law (Rom. 6:17) God is still the Lawgiver and Judge (James 4:12) God’s law is not opposed to his grace, his Son, his Spirit, or our faith
