According to Acts, Romans, Galatians, Colossians and Hebrews, Christians are not under the Law.
What that means is Christians are not under the condemnation or penalty of the Law if they have repented, been baptized and received the Holy Spirit.
Act 2:38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Christ plainly says this...
Mat 19:17 So He said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one
is good but One,
that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
Saints (Christians) are described thusly...
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here
are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
John tells us this...
Rev 22:14 Blessed
are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
Some writings of Paul...
Rom 2:13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified;
Rom 7:1 Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?
The Law describes sin...
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."
The Law is not the problem...
Rom 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Last half of the verse shows us the problem. We have met the enemy and he is us.
Paul understood this....
Rom 7:25 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
He intended to keep the Law but still stumbled and sinned because he was still human. He understood that conversion was a process and that we are not perfect at conversion. It is a lifelong process...
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
We spend our life rooting out sin and becoming more converted...
2Pe 3:18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
How did Paul feel about the Commandments?
1Co 7:19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.
