Being a Christian means we are now free to do everything for others without needing others to do anything for us. Because in Christ we already have everything. We can now actively spend our lives giving instead of taking, going to the back instead of trying to get to the front, sacrificing ourselves for others instead of sacrificing others for ourselves.
Which just happens to also be the fulfillment of the law of Christ and the fulfillment of our very purpose in life.

Yes, we are under a LAW and that LAW is the WORD OF GOD. So many people don’t know that the WORD OF GOD is a legal document and GOD does nothing without it. In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. HE was in the beginning with GOD; all things were made through HIM, and without HIM was not anything made that was made (John 1:1-3). And the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us, full of Grace and Truth...(John 1:14). JESUS CHRIST and HIS WORD in the Bible are ONE.
Under this LAW, the following is not accepted:
- An eye for an eye are not accepted.
- Paying evil with evil is not accepted.
- Unforgiveness is not accepted.
- Holding grudges or offences against others is not accepted.
- Greediness is not accepted.
- Selfishness is not accepted.
- Hatred of one another is not accepted, and so forth.
Under this LAW, Vengeance belongs only to GOD, and we are not allowed to take vengeance ourselves.
Under this LAW, we walk by faith and not by sight.
Under this LAW, there is no condemnation for those who are in CHRIST JESUS.
Finally, under this LAW, we are obliged to love GOD first with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.
Under this LAW, Love is the Greatest and we are also obliged to Love one another as JESUS has loved us.
Thanks be to GOD for HIS WORD, HIS WORD has set us free. For it is written, “For the Law of the Spirit of Life in CHRIST JESUS has set me free from the Law of sin and death (Roman 8:2).”
Glory to GOD, JESUS CHRIST is the WORD OF GOD. And JESUS and HIS WORD in the Bible are ONE.
We are under the LAW OF LOVE. GOD IS LOVE.

After the age of accountability If GOD has not perfected your spirit by Grace through Faith then you will be judged according to GOD's perfect standard of righteousness(the law)
Romans 7:20-25
King James Version(KJV)
20.)Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21.)I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22.)For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23.)But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24.)O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25.)I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

We are under the "law of faith". That law (not philisophical theroy ) is, the faith of God comes by hearing God,called the hearing of faith(us hearing him)
The scriptuures inform us, what if they do not beleive" will thier unbeleif (no faith) work to make the faith of God, in Christ without effect, as if His faith was dead and could not work to both will and do His good pleasure.

I differ with the phrase under the law.
We have a new nature with the Word within. We aren't under anything except the Lordship of Jesus Christ our King. He says go...we go....He gives words...we speak. We follow the leading of Holy Spirit.
We are being brought up in the house of God and will end up living with Him. Children.

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
We are not under the law if we are led of the Spirit,because a Spirit led life will not fulfill the desires of the flesh,they will be tempted,but not sin.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
The people led of the Spirit display the fruit of the Spirit,which there is no ways of the flesh there,so they are not under the law,which means the law cannot touch them for prosecution,because they are not led of the flesh,but of the Spirit.
2Ti 3:4 lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2Ti 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2Ti 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Some people have a form of godliness;but deny the Spirit leading them,for they loved some things of the flesh,and were led of the flesh,and not the Spirit.
2Ti 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Those that name the name of Christ has to depart from iniquity,and these people could not dwell with Jesus for they were workers of iniquity,they had a form of godliness,as they said they did works for the kingdom,but they denied the power thereof,and loved some things of the flesh,so they were led of the flesh,and not the Spirit,lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,which love not the world or the things in the world,and only go by your needs,and not your wants,and to help others with their needs if possible,and if not then the love of God does not dwell in you.
They thought it was alright to hold unto sin and be right with God,for they thought they could not abstain from sin,and sin did not affect their relationship with God,but it is sin that separates us from God.
A person led of the Spirit is not under the law for they display the ways of the Spirit,and not the flesh,so the law cannot touch them for prosecution.
A person that holds unto sin is under the law,for they are led of the flesh,and not the Spirit,so the law can touch them for prosecution.
A lot of people when they confessed Christ did not make an effort to beat all sin,and stop doing it,and hating sin,but thought they were alright,and all they had to do in confess they are a sinner,and ask God to forgive them of their sins,but they held unto them.
Jas 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Jas 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
Jas 1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

Those led of the Spirit will abstain from sin,because they do not want sin,and if they do sin they let it go,and continue on in the Spirit.They are not under the law.
Those not led of the Spirit will hold unto sin thinking it is alright and does not affect their relationship with God.They are under the law.
