The unrighteous christian sinners are accusing the righteous doers of Jesus' word and law of making Jesus' death on the cross of none effect, as though it were incomplete for them.
They say that His work on the cross makes christians automatically forgiven of all their sinning they will be doing unto death, as well as securing their souls in heaven forever, just waiting for their bodies to stop sinning on earth with the grave.
They say that being justified by doing His righteousness with a pure heart, and not by dead faith alone, is declaring Jesus' death insufficient for them, They are proud boasters who love to justify themselves by their own works of the law.
They even deny doing righteousness without also sinning is possible, much less necessary to be justified by Christ.
They also declare the written letters of the law of Christ in Scripture are now all dead, so that no one can even transgress God's law anymore, much less be justified by doing it.
Here is where we see the lawless at heart are in fact the ones declaring the death of Jesus for sins, was insufficient to justify their own sinning unto the end, which should have include His law.
Their delusional teaching that Jesus needed to kill His own law at the cross, as well as the power of sin over His people, shows what they really wished He had done.
After all, if only the power of sin were put to death in Christ, then the unrighteous christian sinners have even less excuse for sinning than the world: they need the law dead too, so as do away with righteous judgment altogether.
Since the death of Jesus was insufficient for their own self-justification with lifetime sinning, they therefore have crucified His law unto themselves on their own cross, rather than crucifying their sinning as Scripture commands us to do.
And so, since Jesus didn't get the whole job done for them, they finish it once for all for themselves: no law, no sin, no judgment.
Just live by faith only, and so long as they believe it, it's right and good and true, and no law they have crucified on their cross, can possibly speak against them.
(Scripture neither, since it's only dead letters on a page.)
