Question… Is the law still in effect per the verse?
No, the Law ended at the cross, where the covenant between God and Israel was violated by Israel. It was not just a little transgression--it was the crucifixion of the Son of God, their Messiah!
The Law, as a covenant, was completely terminated. And this was represented by the tearing of the veil of the temple, indicating that the condemnation of the Law can no longer prevent the saints from obtaining eternal life from God.
Are sinners without the law?
The Law of Moses was only for Israel, and not for any other nation of the world. Since the Law of Moses has now been abrogated even for Israel, no nation on earth is under the Law.
The testimony of the Law is distinct from the covenant of the Law. Even though the covenant of Law is now gone, the testimony of the Law to God's character and to His holiness remains.
All men, saints and sinners, have an obligation to obey God's word, having been made in God's image, after His likeness. Our conscience is designed to hear the truth, even though our rebelliousness and sin nature obscures that truth. God's Law is in our soul, and all men are therefore accountable to God's word.
The covenant of Law simply bore witness to this Law of God within all men, though it applied only to Israel. But the testimony of God's word and the history of Israel has been made available to the world as a testimony so that all can understand God's progressive plan more clearly.
He began with Israel to prepare for final atonement in Christ. And then this gospel would be preached to the world--not the Law of Moses but the eternal Law of God impressed upon the human conscience. By knowing God's word within we know how we should live. And hearing the gospel of Christ we know that we must fully accept him to be saved.
Is Joe Biden under the law or grace?
Biden claims to be a Christian through Catholicism. But he conveniently believes his political office allows him to accommodate all opinions even if his private opinion is different as a Christian. For example, he knows Catholics oppose abortion. But as President he feels free to pursue abortion on demand on behalf of all Americans, who feel differently than Catholics do.
Biden should be under grace. But I don't feel he truly lives it. He embraces parts of the "love" of the Gospel, but then lives an unsanctified life with pagan friends. And it shows in his political philosophy, which completely compromises Christian truth. It seems he even persecutes Evangelicals.
Are sinners in a lawless limbo since they are under neither Law nor Grace? What is the name of this limbo?
All men are subject to God's Law from the beginning, which requires us to live as people created in the likeness of God. This is *not* the Law of Moses, which provided, temporarily, an atonement that was less than adequate for obtaining eternal life.
To obtain eternal life, men need to hear the gospel of Christ, so that they can give up their own ways fully for the word of God. Only Christ was able to prepare us for that and obtain acceptance by God through him.
