Where does the Law fit now? Holiness Where does the Law fit now?
We are freed from the Law Salvation is the result of promise: Galatians 3.16 The Law was added because of transgressions: Galatians 3.17 The Law does not undo the promise: Galatians 3.21 And since we are “out of” faith in the promise, we are free. Galatians 4.31
Christ has freed us from the Law He was born, and lived, under the Law. Galatians 4.4 He fulfilled the demands of the Law: Matthew 5.17 By fulfilling the righteous demands of the Law, He was worthy and able to accept our punishment for not keeping the righteous demands of the Law: Galatians 3.13-19 And our salvation consists of being placed into Christ. Galatians 3.26-27
Christ has placed the Law in our hearts Godly people love His law Psalm 1.2 Psalm 119.70; 77; 174 Jesus loves the Law. Psalm 40.8 NT Christians should love the law Romans 7.22 The Law of God in our hearts is the essence of the New Testament. Jeremiah 31.31-37
Christian Liberty is not without peril We are to stand firm in liberty. Galatians 5.1 Yet that liberty can become the “home base” for the flesh. Galatians 5.13 Instead we are to fulfill the great mandate of the LAW. Galatians 5.14
