We Are Free From The Law So That We Can Be Used To Serve

So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. Romans 8:4

    

So many people are in a religious situation where laws and rules are being preached and commanded of them. This is such a shame, because they are being taught lies that bind them. The Truth, and it is so freeing, is that every requirement for righteousness was fully accomplished for us by Jesus. Righteousness is not found by keeping rules. 

Let’s put this Truth in the real world plain English: we are now as righteous as Jesus is! I want you to think about Jesus, do you believe that He is worried about messing up? What about ever being overtaken by satan? Do you believe that Jesus can be sick? Every single glorious thing that we believe about Jesus, He has because He is so righteous. Now because of His Blood we are as righteous as He is, 1 John 4:17. That is why Jesus came and that is what He accomplished for us. Jesus secured complete and total success for us. We are sanctified by this Truth, John 17:17, and the Truth is that Jesus made us every but as righteous as He is. 

Grace and spiritual blessing be to you and [soul] peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), Who gave (yielded) Himself up [to atone] for our sins [and ]to save and sanctify us], in order to rescue and deliver us from this present wicked age and world order, in accordance with the will and purpose and plan of our God and Father—Galatians 1:3-4

We are rescued from this wicked world, not by being taken out of it, but by being kept by our Father while we are still in it, John 17:15. Our Father's Grace is what keeps us and there are no longer any laws to stop us from fully realizing that we have it. We have our Father’s favor just as Jesus has it. Our Father definitely wants us to know and enjoy this Truth. If you don’t believe that He does, just look at how many chapters in Romans that He had written to tell us that we are free from the Law. He also had it written of in Galatians, Ephesians, and Corinthians. 

There is another real world application to this Truth, we can go into the world and actually serve them through our Freedom in Christ. We can intercede for people and they will be healed, just as they were healed with Jesus. We can cast out demons, raise the dead, and prophesy Truth just as Jesus did. We can freely receive and freely give and all without any condemnation. We can because there are no laws that anyone has broken. There is nothing that holds us back from loving all people in the full power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
