We Are Not Under Law Pt. 1
- The law is not of faith
Galatians 2:16 ESV 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.nobody is made right by the works of the law - not one single personGalatians 3:11–12 ESV 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”It takes no faith to obey rulesAbraham was made right with God long before the law was ever givenRomans 4:13 ESV 13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.wrong paperwork, wrong lineageHebrews 7:13–14 ESV 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.Matthew 9:17 ESV 17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved.”Hebrews 7:12 ESV 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.Law’s 2 scores: 0 or 100James 2:10 ESV 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.Galatians 5:3 ESV 3 I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law.Galatians 3:10 ESV 10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”Romans 5:20 ESV 20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,Romans 7:5 ESV 5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.Romans 7:8 ESV 8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.Romans 6:14 ESV 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.1 Corinthians 15:56 ESV 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.Which person respects the law?Not a jot or a tittleMatthew 5:18 ESV 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.Matthew 5:18 NLT 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God’s law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.The law is not dead; it’s still hereThe law is not for youRomans 7:4 ESV 4 Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.Romans 7:12 ESV 12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.1 Timothy 1:7–9 ESV 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions. 8 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,Galatians 3:23–25 ESV 23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,Galatians 5:18 ESV 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
