Notice Romans 6:14 carefully, Saint or Reader.
-
1.) """""For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."""""

2.) """"Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.""""""

Paul spoke about multiple categories of law other than the Law of God, such as with saying that he served the Law of God with his mind in contrast with serving the law of sin with his flesh and with saying that the Law of the Spirit has freed us from the law of sin and death (Romans 7:25-8:2), so it should at least be worth considering which of these Romans 6:14 is referring to rather than assuming that Paul was always referring the the Law of God in spite of that contradicting all of Romans 6. It is by the Law of God that we have knowledge of what sin is (Roman 3:20), so if were not under it and were doers of what it reveals to be sin, then that would mean that sin would have dominion over us, moreover, the rest of Romans 6 speaks in favor of obedience to the Law of God and against sin.

Paul described the Law of God as being the good that he wanted to do and the law of sin as being a law that was hindering him from doing the good that he wanted to do. A law where sin had dominion over us is clearly not the referring to the good that Paul wanted to do, but rather that is the role of sin. In Romans 7:22, Paul delighted in obeying the Law of God, so it would be absurd to interpret Romans 6:14 as also referring to the Law of God as if Paul delighted in sin having dominion over him.

So, we see that God accepts us, based on what He has offered as the "one time ETERNAL sacrifice" for our sin.

We can't do that for ourselves, and the 10 commandments and 613 Moses Law can't provide that... In fact the way OUT of being deemed unrighteous by Moses Law and the 10 Commandments, is THE CROSS OF CHRIST, where God has given us HIS righteousness, as "the Gift of Rightesousness"..

What is that?

That is our : Salvation who is Jesus ... As its Jesus alone who has "redeemed us from the CURSE...OF...THE ... LAW".

This specific curse is " MOSES Law"s dominion = to define a sinner everyone as a sinner<>Unrighteous.

And part of the Good News that is The Gospel...is that Jesus has redeemed us from that "CURSE"... because "you are NOT UNDER THE LAW.....but under GRACE"""

In Titus 2:14, it does not say that Jesus gave himself to redeem us from the Law of Moses, but rather it says that he gave himself to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so the way to believe in what he accomplished through the cross is by becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to the Law of Moses (Acts 21:20) while the way to reject what he accomplished through the cross would be by returning to the curse of lawlessness that he gave himself to redeem us from.

Now.....Reader, if you are trying to keep all the 10 Commandments and 613 of Moses's Law to try to stay saved, or to be saved, or to "keep from losing relationship with God".....then you are "under the law", and you are "fallen from Grace", and you are in a "carnal mind".

So, that is a ""carnal mind"" that is "in the Flesh"....Paul teaches in Galatians.......and the theological term for this is "LEGALIST" or "LEGALISM".
I define it as "broken faith"......that needs to be restored with the help of someone who can truly help you SEE your way back to the Light.

In Psalm 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Mosaic Law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has what it means to be under grace, this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith, and it would be absurd to think that he wanted God to be gracious to him by teaching him how to fall from grace. In Matthew 7:23, Jesus said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he never knew them, so the way to not have a relationship with God is by being a worker of lawlessness. In Romans 8:4-7, Paul contrasted those who walk in the Spirit with those who have carnal minds who are enemies of God who refuse to submit to the Law of God. What the Bible says is the way of faith, you call a broken faith, but the reality is that your concept of faith is the broken faith.

Reader,
.....the Devil's #1 worldwide daily eternal victory is everyone who just died and went to hell this last second...
the Devils #2 Victory is to ruin a Christians faith....which means to cause a Chrisitan to Stop Trusting only in Christ Alone to keep them saved, as when the Devil has you out of that right faith, then he has you into carnal SELF-righteousness.......and that means that the person is >>trying to make themselves RIGHT with God<<< based on SELF Effort.

God is trustworthy, therefore His law is also trustworthy (Psalm 19:7), so the way to trust in God is by obediently trusting in His law and it would be contradictory to think that we are trusting in ourselves by obediently trusting in God's instructions. Likewise, it is contradictory to think that we should trust in Christ alone instead of in what he taught or to think that we should trust in God's Word made flesh alone instead of obediently following his example of embodying God's Word. God did not give His law in order to lead us away from trusting only in Christ or as a way to become self-righteous. Something that is based on self-effort would involve doing things that are not in accordance with anything that God has instructed.

Always remember that God gave MOSES LAW and the 10 Commandments to show you that you can't do it....... you are not righteous....so, we then turn to Christ... .and we receive HIM as our SAVIOR and He becomes for us.. "God hath made JESUS...to be Sin for us"... and we become "The rightesousness of God, in Christ'........we are then "made righteous" based on the blood and death and resurrection of Jesus.

It would be completely pointless for God to command something that is beyond our ability to do just to show that He can command something that is beyond our ability to do. Rather, Romans 10:5-8 refers to Deuteronomy 30 as the word of faith that we proclaim in regard to the righteousness that is by faith proclaiming that the Law of Moses is not too difficult for us to obey and that obedience to it brings life and a blessing while disobedience brings death and a curse, so choose life! Your position is arguing in favor of choosing death and a curse instead of life and a blessing.

Jesus saves us from our sin (Matthew 1:21) and it is by the Mosaic Law that we have knowledge of what sin is (Roman 3:20), so Jesus graciously teaching us to be a doer of it is intrinsically the way that he is giving us his gift of saving us from not being a doer of it. You want Jesus to Jesus to be your Savior, but you don't want him to save you from doing what the Mosaic Law reveal to be sin. What it means to be righteous is to be a doer of righteous works in obedience to the Law of Moses (1 John 3:4-7, Isaiah 51:7), but you while to be called righteous while not wanting your works to be called righteous, so it is metaphorically like you want just the receipt for the gift of salvation and righteousness but not the content of those gifts.
