Hebrews 12:12-17, "Therefore, strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And follow the straight paths made for your feet, so that the lame may not be turned out of the way, but rather may be healed. Follow peace with all men; and holiness, without which no one will see Yahweh: Searching diligently, so that no one falls short of the honor of Yahweh; so that no root of bitterness grows up to cause trouble--for because of this, many are defiled; So that there is no a, fornicator nor profane person, like Esau, Who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no way for repentance, though with tears sought it out."

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

There is no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. Its not that the Lord has taken out the curse of the law and now you are able to follow it freely with no curse.

The Lord Jesus said He didn't come to take one little bit away from the Law. Those who work at it are very much under the consequences of it.

There is no condemnation in Christ because He grows the fruit of obedience in our lives. Against which there is no law. And hence, no condemnation.

Galatians 5:22-23
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Did you think you were supposed to somehow work for this fruit or make it happen inside you all by yourself??? Did you think that your work at the 10 commandments is the cause of your obedience? Do you think it grows the fruit of the Spirit?

Nope.

Its not by your works, lest any boast.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

See Galatians 5:22-23 if you are wondering what the fruit is...

Matthew 11:28 [SUP] [/SUP]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Rest from what, you ask? Rest from going about establishing your own Righteousness. Submitting to, Resting in, The Righteousness of God.

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

What is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus?

How does it make us free? What's the law of sin and death?

How do we follow the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus instead of the law of sin and death?

First question answer is, the Teachings of LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS chosen Apostle's, written in the New Covenant.

Second, If/Unless we 'abide' in HIS Teachings, written in the New Covenant.

Third, 'Abide in them and truly we are HIS disciples and we will know the Truth and the Truth will set us free'.

Fourth, The Law of sin and death have power over those who are in carnal/flesh thinking and living, as the unsaved world. And also once again have power over born again who have been saved and washed clean, but once again remain and continue in their carnal/flesh thinking and living, that is, to the pattern of this world and equally yoked with them in the name of love.

Fifth, Galatians chapter 5; 16-26, have the answer, that is to forsake the fruits/desires of the flesh/carnal and be guided in the fruits/desires of the SPIRIT/spirit.

Then one may become like the spirit-man, JESUS of Nazareth, who was the firstborn of all creation and is the firstfruit of resurrection, and ascended into Heaven to be at the right side of honor beside the FATHER, praying and pleading, possible everyone who HE saved, 'workout their salvation in fear and trembling', 'abiding' in HIS Teachings that are written in the New Covenant and persevere tribulation and persecution and make their way home, 'to home rest home'.

Be blessed in the name above all other names, the name of LORD JESUS CHRIST, Amen.

Who says they're not in force?

That would make both Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ liars if they weren't in force.

Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
