Hello Gladstone,
Which believers in Christ are not under, and that because we died with Christ and we therefore died to the law. The law is what gives sin its power over us. It is also what the powers of darkness used against us. As the scripture states, if you are going to put yourself under the law, then you must obey the entire law, not just some of it. Likewise, if you break it in just one place, you've broken the whole law. Pay close attention to what the Spirit says through Paul in the illustration below and understand that when Paul says "the law" and "the written code" that he is speaking about the whole law given to Moses.
"Do you not know, brothers (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the Law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God. For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the Law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death. But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the Law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code."
Through Christ we have died to the law. It no longer has authority over us. We are no longer bound to that marriage. The law is no longer our husband. Christ rescued us from the curse of the law and not just parts of it, but all of it. We are under a new covenant in the shed blood of Christ and are led by the Holy Spirit and not by the written code (law of Moses).
According to scripture, anyone trusts in the works of the law as a means for salvation i.e. to find favor with God, will not inherit the kingdom of God. And for those who say it is through Jesus only that we are saved but are promoting the law, you are indeed trusting in the law, otherwise you wouldn't be promoting the keeping of it.
It is amazing how deceiving Satan is in that, he is still able to get people to cleave to the law, which will destroy them.
Sin is transgression of the law.
