S6:12 | Breaking Free from Spiritual Slavery

One of the most odd and tedious questions in all of Christian theology and practice is outlining our relationship to the Law. Paul speaks highly of the Law but also indicates that it was used for negative purposes. The psalmists gush, “How I love your Law, O Lord!” But the NT writers also talk about how the Law was a short-lived covenant, and not an eternal covenant. And on an experiential level, if we are saved by grace of Jesus through faith in Jesus, are we now above the Law? Can we dismiss it altogether? It’s still a part of Holy Scripture, so what do we do? In short, If we are in Christ by grace, how should we now think about God’s Law?
