Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Remember this-- 1Jn_3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
You do not sin without a law to break. Many people take bits and pieces of the Bible and use it to make a case for being under grace the law no longer matters at all. But clearly the Bible says otherwise consistently- God forbid. The law is not done away with- let me clarify, the MORAL law is not done away with. The ceremonial law was abolished- the ceremonial law being that which pointed to our Savior and the sacrifice He would make for all mankind. The law is the written word of God to His chosen people, and the word of God written on the hearts of all- His chosen and Gentiles alike. If a law is written on the heart, how can it be done away with? It's much easier to discard a law that isn't in your heart. But if a LAW can be written in our hearts why would it be unwritten on our heart, erased? There is nowhere in the Bible we are told God will take the law from our heart.
