James 1:25 It is a common thought that we are self-governed in Christianity. That we get to judge for ourselves based on our feelings and own thoughts what we get to do. Since we are Christians and have faith then we must be right. Wrong. We have a law. This is not like the old law. In fact, this is a perfect new law. It is a law that is based on freedom, justification, salvation and forgiveness. It is the perfect law of liberty. This law is found in the New Testament. It is the commands that the Apostles were to teach us to continue in so that Christ can be with us. It is the commands, scriptures, words and or teachings we find in the New Testament. That is the law we now live by. Live by it.      

(Galatians 3:19; Colossians 2:14) The Law was added because of our sins. It shows us what sin is. It was to guide God’s people to cleanliness and to maintain that state compared to the world. However, it could not save. Christ saves. Therefore, after the tutor, the law, had fulfilled its usefulness keeping the Lord’s people set apart and scheme of redemption on schedule it was done away. It was fulfilled and replaced by Christ. Since Christ has come and fulfilled and replaced it, we no longer are under it. We can still learn things from it. Don’t bind yourself to something that has been done away with.
