Jesus taught that those who believe in Him will be free from the law and
the sin it produces. The law magnifies sin by focusing on it to show us we
are sinners. (this is to the Jew of course, for the gentile was never under
this bondage.) This passage is of course before any of the teachings of
Paul regarding the law and our freedom from it.
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my
word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are offspring of
Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say,
'You will become free'?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits
sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever;
the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free
indeed. 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill
me because my word finds no place in you. 38 I speak of what I have seen
with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (Jn 8:31-38).
This is why there is now therefore no condemnation to those in Christ
Jesus.
Romans 8
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Any time satan tries to lay a guilt trip on you tell him to back off in
Jesus name based on this verse above. As a believer in the Lord Jesus
Christ you have been set free!
Then as Paul has said,....let them be accursed..
Galatians 1:8-9 (King James Version)
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you
than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel
unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Read the rest of Galatians for the full backup of this teaching.
Here you see that Jesus our Saviors Gospel is the same as what some try to
make out as Pauls teachings. So-called Scholars try to water this all down
and seek to put us under the Law as do the RCC's thereby demeaning the work
of Jesus Christ on the cross as the sacrifice for out sins.
As Jesus said, those He sets free are free indeed. Be freed in Jesus name.
