No Longer Under the Law

Romans 6:14 says “For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”

The law of sin and death was created by the law of Moses. The law of sin worked in our flesh to fight against the law of God because our flesh could not keep it: Romans 7:8 says ” But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.” Meaning that the Good law of Moses worked in my flesh a bad law of sin and death that condemned me and killed me. For by the law is the knowledge of Sin. And the strength of Sin was the law of Moses; but Jesus took sins strength away by nailing the law to the cross therefore destroying sin in his body which was made Sin. He destroyed sin because the law couldn’t accuse us anymore because it had been nailed, for without the law Sin was dead! And sin couldn’t be magnified when there is no law! But NOW The law of the Spirit is love which is given to us through the Spirit of Christ. Romans 7:4 says “Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.” Sin is the transgression of the law, but iniquity is the propensity or leaning toward sinning against the law. People are not sinners because they sin; they sin because they’re sinners, it’s a condition of the soul. Jesus destroyed the sin nature by becoming sin on the cross (2Cor.5:21). He became the noun nature of sin, so he could help us stop practicing the verb acts of sin. Not only did Jesus destroy sin by becoming sin on the cross; but he fulfilled the law and nailed it to the cross. Now we under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ! The Grace of God gives us the strength to say no to sin! He gives us power over sin by What Christ has done! SATAN USED THE LAW TO ACCUSE OLD TESTAMENT SAINTS BEFORE GOD! HE WENT INTO HEAVEN TO ACCUSE SAINTS! BUT IT CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED, JESUS NAILED THE LAW TO THE CROSS AND CONDEMNED SIN IN THE VEIL OF HIS FLESH, SO SATAN CAN NO LONGER USE THE LAW TO CONDEMN US! BY JESUS NAILING WHAT SATAN USED AGAINST US, SATAN WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN AT THE CROSS!
