Day 5: Not Under Law
What Christians Typically Believe: We need a balance of law and grace. This “balance” often sounds wise but in practice means adding some law back into the gospel because pure grace is feared to produce careless living.
The Biblical Truth: You are not under law but under grace (Rom. 6:14; Gal. 5:18; Gal. 3:23–25). Mixing the two neutralizes the power of grace, like trying to drive with one foot on the accelerator and one on the brake. The law was never designed for the new creation.
Why It Matters: Any mixture frustrates grace. Pure grace is the only sustainable path to holiness. When led by the Spirit, you are not under law, and the resulting fruit is authentic and lasting. This unmixed gospel produces confident, joyful Christians who live holy lives from the heart.
