Not being under the Law, what does it mean?

[Whyme]

Let me share why i posted this thread. Usually when i have wrong thoughts i tell myself to think about what is good instead, as paul teaches us. And it helps. But the other day i was bombarded by thoughts, so i told myself i was not under the law, and the thoughts went away. I just had to release those chains on my mind. Does this make sense? Im not sure but it helped. Praise the Lord.

You see, because I believe He paid for all our sins. This is a colossal difference as far as our faith is concerned.

And does that make your works perfect? Do you ever do wrong? I do.

Read the Bible and seek God's Kingdom and His righteousness [Matt. 6,33], asking with your own words the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness for all your sins, salvation [Rom. 10: 9-13] and an understanding of the written Word of God. You will see for yourself [1 John 2.27; J. 14,25-26] that His Kingdom is a Kingdom of grace [Rom. 8: 31-39], the righteousness of God [Rom. 1.16-17; 3.21-22; Philip. 3: 8-11] and His peace [J. 14.27; Rom. 14.17]. The sensual world does not know it, because it is not about the buildings, organizations, titles or wisdom of this world, and money is not the currency there [Mat. 6.24].

Today the area of the Kingdom includes broken hearts [Acts. 3.19-20; Col 1: 12-13], who by the grace of God, the Lord Jesus, knew Him as the only Lord and Master [1 Cor. 8.6; Rome. 10.13; Mat. 23:10], the only rock [Isa. 44.8; 1 Cor. 10, 1-4], and the only Savior [Acts 4: 10-12], who became man forever, the only Mediator to God [1 Tim. 2,5-6], the only High Priest [Heb. 5.5-10; 7,11-10,2], the only Head of the Church [Col. 1,18] and the only Way of God [J. 14,4-11].

God judges us. Scripture says so. Forgive me but i dont quite understand what you are saying. Grace doesnt teach us that our sin is ok, no it teaches us to deny ungodly lusts.

Salvation is with God. You will not find salvation on this or any other forum.

If we try to apply biblical laws, when we are tempted, we will fail (see Rom. 7). 

We should seek the Lord for his grace, when we are tempted and he will give us the way out and work in us the willingness and doing of taking that way out.

These are two different paths: the first leads to dead works, guilt and failure (or pride and pretended success); the second is the path of fellowship with the Lord and living in his victory.

Oh, then I'll ask Have you heard about Jesus?

Yes,we have heard about Jesus and what He did for us. 

We now live under a New Covenant. The Old was "a shadow of things to come"; the new, is the reality (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 10:1-18).

The Old is "fulfilled" or completed; the New is still in force (Matt.5:17, 18; 2 Cor. 3:6-18; Heb. 10:9).

Prophecy foretold the abolishing of the Old, and the establishing of the New (Isa. 51:4; Jer. 31:33; Acts 2:22; Heb. 8:7-13; 10:4-18; Rom.11:25-29).

One was too weak to overcome sin; and the other gave victory over sin (Rom. 6:1-23; 8:1-4; Eph. 2:8, 9; 1 John 5:1-18).

One was made to be changed (Heb. 7:11-22; 8:5, 6; 9:9, 10; 10:1-18; Gal. 3:19-24; the other was made to be unchanged (Heb.7:22; 8:6; 10:9; 13:20).

Only men who persist  in being under the Old Covenant are under it, and they are going to be held accountable for every detail of the law (Gal. 3:10-12; 5:3; James 2:10).

If they persist in keeping the old law sabbath, then they are responsible for not being circumcised, for not offering sacrifices, and for not doing everything the law requires.

Jesus came to make a new covenant to replace the old one, and it is only when it is accepted by man that the benefits of the new covenant are enjoyed by man who then becomes a party to it (Mark 16:16; John 3:16-19; 1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9; Rev. 22:17).

If men do not accept the terms of the new covenant, then they have to pay the original death penalty incurred by Adam, choosing it in preference to the terms of the new contract (Gen. 2:16-18; Rom. 5:12-21; Mark 16:16; Heb. 2:3).

2 Cor. 3:  3, Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

You are right, but what you will find is someone who can tell you about salvation in Jesus, and you can also find that information here.  Only Jesus saves.
