"We Are Not Under The
Law"
Romans 6:15
Many vainly imagine
that men and women can be persuaded to cease from sin and live in holiness by
putting them under the bondage of the law. And they quake at the thoughts of
evil and licentiousness that would abound if believers are persuaded that they
are totally free from the law.Paul knew better.When he wants to promote
holiness of life among God's people, he says, "Sin shall not have dominion
over you: for ye are not under the law,but under
grace...Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God
forbid!" It is legalism, not free grace, that
stirs up sin in men.
