Hi sister,

As you know, I used to be in this "We are under the LAW - we must keep the LAW, because CHRIST did!" CAMP. But no longer. Paul taught that we are now under GRACE. Does that mean we throw away the Law? NO, but it has been FULFILLED by Christ. The sacrifice necessary under the LAW was given once and for all by Jesus Christ. I believe in that and trust in that.

Romans 4:14
"For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:"

Galatians 3
19 - "Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator."
21 -Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 - But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise of the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 - But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 - Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 - But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 - For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 - For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 - There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 - And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
