Didn't know we needed freedom not to break the law
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
I suppose we are set free from involuntary slavery (to sin) to voluntary servanthood (to righteousness).
Well then argue with
Romans 4, cause that's where I got that.
I don't see the righteousness that comes by faith as being separated from practical living, because even Abraham, although righteousness was imputed to him because he believed God, still...Ge 26:5
Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
The law which is written upon our heart is the law of love. This comes through faith, it is Christ Himself dwelling within, the hope of glory, a glory greater than that which anointed the written letter. Yet this does not remove any obligation to obedience, but contrarywise, fulfils it. Love being the fulfilling of the law. But our study of, and love for the law, and our recognition of its authority, can never contradict that which is written in our hearts, and should never contradict the way we live our lives as a result. All things should harmonise. Mercy, grace, law, love, practical living. not one or any of these can or should be set aside as each one is a reflection of God's character and nature, that very same character that we are being conformed to by His Spirit dwelling within.
