Day 4: Died to the Law
What Christians Typically Believe: The Ten Commandments and moral law still guide and obligate believers for sanctification. Many are taught that while we are saved by grace, we are kept holy by continuing to live under the moral law.
The Biblical Truth: You died to the law through Christ’s body so you can belong to Him and bear fruit to God (Rom. 7:4–6; Gal. 2:19). Believers have been released from the entire law system. The law served as a temporary tutor until Christ came, but we are now married to another — the risen Christ.
Why It Matters: The law kills and provokes sin. Dying to it releases you from bondage and frustration into Spirit-empowered living. This severs the old marriage to rules and opens the way for a higher righteousness produced by the indwelling life of Christ rather than external pressure.
