Are we under the law- Part 4

So we have searched for understanding in how the Christian uses the law. We have looked as Paul and learnt that there are 3 functions:
1. Deny that the law operates as law (ie rules)
2. Replace the law with the new life
3. Ressaign law as either wisdom or prophecy.

Below is a diagram that Brian Rosner gave that shows Paul in action. Enjoy!

Repudiation

As wisdom
Reassign
As prophecy
6:15
believers are “not under the law”
“but under grace”


8:1-4
“you have been set free from the law of sin and death”
“by the law
of the Spirit”

“in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us”
4:1-3


Gen. 15:6 quoted, “Abraham believed God …,” to argue that Abraham was justified by faith, in connection with the promise in Gen. 12:1-3, which is now being fulfilled in Christ

5:12-21


Adam as a type of Christ clarifies Christ’s achievement

12:19



Deut. 32:35 quoted, “Vengeance is mine …,” to support the call for non-retaliation
