IF YE FOLLOW the SPIRIT ye are NOT UNDER THE LAW .It is simply that the fruit of the Spirit doesn't violate the law.
But scripture teaches that we are not under the law (Romans 6:14), are dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and are delivered from the law.
And I believe that this is as concerning condemnation.
For we are still governed by the law from the inside (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6; Romans 5:5).
But the effect of this does not occur by attempting to obety a set of do's and don'ts. It occurs because we have the love of God in us (Romans 5:5); which love is practical (1 John 3:17-18) and the fulfilling of the righteousness of the law within us (Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 5:14, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 8:4).
THE SPIRIT .
Rest assured When the word says FOLLOW , it means FOLLOW . Not saying you dont know this . I am just reminding us is all .
