The Law Still Exists; but it's the End of Following It

It is by God's grace that I extend it to those who are still under a mixture of law and grace (new wine/old wine skins). I too was once STRONG under law; so much that I didn't even know what grace was! Given the privilege of being established in the gospel, gives me great compassion for those who are yet to be reached. I didn't want to believe ANY of it, but now that I know the truth, it's hard for me to understand why I fought it and why anyone else would want to fight so hard to uphold the law, when scripture clearly says, you never can and you never will...

There are so many truths that are presented in scripture, but for the sake of this article, I'll be referencing Romans and Galatians; what the bible DOES say and what it DOES NOT say.


ROMANS 10:4
It Says
"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes."


It Does Not Say
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who obeys the law and follows the commandments.


ROMANS 8:7
It Does Say
"For the sinful nature (Flesh) is always hostile to God. It never did obey God's laws and it never will."


It Does Not Say
For the sinful nature (Flesh) is always hostile to God, but it must obey God's laws and commandments.



GALATIANS 2:16
It Does Say 
Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”

It Does Not Say
Yet we know that a person is made right by obeying all the commandments. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our obedience to the laws and commandments; for that is the only way to be made right with God.

GALATIANS 2:21
It Does Say
"I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die."


It Does Not Say
I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then we must obey the law and commandments if we want to be righteous and holy.
