Faith vs Law
Faith is the substance of things hope for the evidence of things not seen. (Heb.11:1)
Law is an established or permanent rule, prescribed by the supreme power of a state to it's subjects, for regulating their actions, particularly their social actions.
Romans 3:28-31
3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
The Bible tells us our righteousness is but filth before God, our attempts towards keeping the laws only reveal to us even more how helpless we are towards being right by the law.
Jesus the Author and the finisher of our faith(Heb.12:2) wrote our faith by living it out. He was brought before the law yet found blameless and on the strength of that we being in Him (col.3:3) will be clothed in His righteousness for only Him fulfilled the claims of Devine Justice.
On account of these many believers abolished the law claiming sanctuary in faith which of a Truth is more than enough if guided by the spirit, these "believers " go about living a lawless life forgetting that faith (believing) is not a one day affair but a daily way of life by the Spirit that was deposited in you the moment you believed, the Spirit constrains your life bringing your life in conformity with that of Christ, now Christ Jesus in body form said He has not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it which He did (Matthew 5:17-18)
meaning the law has it's place in Christianity although what is law can only be revealed by the Spirit like Paul said "The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth life".
Romans 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith?
God forbid
rather by faith we establish the law.
