We Are No Longer Burdened By Slavery,

So we wonder what that burden was; it was the chains
of the old law. We are no longer shackled by that yoke.
The old law led to death and so to be tethered to the old
law is putting a burden on us that was removed by Christ
crucified. Scripture says: Christ is of no value to those
who feel obligated to the old law. We have been freed
by Christ and His two commandments which are : Love
the Lord your God and Love your neighbor as yourself.
To that end scripture says Love fulfils all the law. Some
feel we are still under the ten commandments but Jesus
not only fulfilled all of that law but made it eve more sever.
For example, Jesus said the old commandment says you
shall not kill; but I say anyone who is angry at his neighbor
has already broken that law. So in say love fulfils all the
law does not makes us beneath the law but above the law.
To that end, we are living in the Spirit and no longer living
in the flesh. Does that disqualify the Old Testament from
our lives; absolutely not. There is much wisdom there for
us to follow, we should not ignore it.

I'm thinking that since Jesus came to fulfill the law (some say to add meaning to the law), that those chains are broken.
However, in my dealing with the men in my small group, it seems like we still act like we are bound.
My question here is, how can I reach my men with the idea that we ARE free from our problems in Christ?

When we come to Christ, Yeshua, we are freed of the curse of the law, death. We will live forever.

This in no manner destroys the law, but it moves to our hearts proving what Paul writes, "Faith estblishes the law."

There is a lot to meditate on in just these few lines.....so, you all enjoy life in Jesus.

Before Christ men were living in the flesh, for the flesh. All sin is because of desire. All carnal desire is to satisfy the flesh. When we are born again, we no longer serve the flesh. It is not our master. We walk in the Spirit. Our desire is for others and God. By doing this in love for the benefit of the whole it is impossible to sin. Because we are Christ’ body and He lives, we live.

You might want to show them the following verses:

Galatians :5
Christ of no value

5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

2 Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3 Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4 You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

As you know, circumcision is observance of the law.
