"Wanted:..

[GRACE ambassador]

...Dead, Not alive...

...God wants you dead to the law, not alive to it...Galatians struggled with this...

...the Colossians were having difficulty with this doctrine as well:

“Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments
of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye
subject to ordinances” (Col. 2:20)...​

...imagine God’s frustration when believers who are “free from the law”
(Rom. 8:2) elect to subject themselves to the bondage of the law.
Especially since the law was supposed to “perish with the using”:

“Which all are to perish with the using; after the
commandments and doctrines of men” (Col. 2:22)...​

...What did Paul mean when he says that the ordinances of the law were
to perish with the using? Well, the only other place that talks about using
the law says that a man must “use it lawfully” (I Tim. 1:8).

As he went on to explain, “the law is not made for a righteous man” (v. 9),
to help the believer to be good. It is made “for the lawless,” that is, for
unbelievers (vv. 9,10), to show them their need of a Savior...

...Aren’t you glad The LORD Jesus Christ kept it perfectly, and then died a
sacrificial death for your sins, setting you free from the law? Aren’t you
glad that God was “satisfied” with His sacrifice (Isa. 53:11)? *

Don’t you think you should be? Rather than subjecting yourself to the law,
“as ye have therefore received Christ Jesus The LORD, so walk ye in Him”
(Col. 2:6), walking by Grace through faith instead...

[Two-Edged Sword]

True, as long as we don't interpret this as an occasion to sin, for we know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9).

Romans 8 KJV: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. ​

As Paul says in Romans 3:31 "Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law"
We are saved by faith (not by keeping the law) but your works will express your faith - James 2:18 “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”

You can tell what kind a tree by the fruit growing on it - You can tell a Christian by his obedience to Christ.
