Are Christians under any Law?
If Yes or No, back your answer with the WORD OF GOD in the Bible because the WORD of GOD is the only Truth.
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.
1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Whoever abides in Jesus sins not,and this is how the children of God,and the children of the devil,are known.
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.
