Freedom and the Law

One of the things that false teachers love to do is to set liberty against the Law. Liberty is not the absence of law or the responsibilities of the law but it is freedom from the penalty of the law. How can we avoid the penalty of the law? One way is to keep the law perfectly which as citizens of this world we cannot do. The other way is to have the penalty of the law paid for us which has been done through Christ Jesus and His sacrificial death. The Law is not the enemy of grace but the instructor which should lead us to grace.
When Paul says that we are free from the Law he was saying that there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Beware of those who disregard the law.
