Galatians 5

[Watchwithme]

Good post, and valid points. But may I ask, how do you explain Christ teaching that the law was not abolished? All of the accounts where Christ reiterates the same law when saying 'it is written'? If sin 'is a transgression of the law' and that law is done away with, then by what do we use to discern the bad seeds? By their works, I know, but if we have no law to base our perception on, then what guides our morality?

The law can never be abolished because it is the law that leads to salvation. However when the law has done its job in leading us to Christ, it has done it's job. Does that mean we go on sinning so that grace can abound? By no means!

[font=trebuchet ms']R[/font][font=trebuchet ms']omans 7:9 [/font][font=trebuchet ms']For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.[/font]
