God's word is plain, that God put men under the law, not that they should be saved by keeping it, but that they might be led to see their need of a Saviour, one to redeem them from the curse of the law: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us,"--Gal 3:13; and then, having redeemed them from the curse of the law, and from all iniquity (Titus 2:14), to adopt them as His own children, "heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ."--Rom. 8:17. So wonderful is the plan that it is hard for a human being to grasp it. _God's plan with men_ is not simply to save them, but to put them above all other created beings. "Unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son?"--Heb. 1:5. Yet, "having in love predestinated us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to himself,"--Eph. 1:5 (1911 Bible), "heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,"--Rom. 8:17, He puts us far above angels; "for ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."--Gal. 3:26. But men can only come into this higher relation to God as sons by being redeemed from under the lower relation, under the law. Hear God's word: "When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, _that we might receive the adoption of sons_."--Gal. 4:4, 5. This higher relation as sons of God can be attained only by men coming out from under the law; and men can come out from under the law only by being redeemed from under the law. God's word teaches clearly, then, that when one is redeemed, he is no longer under the law. "Ye are not under the law,"--Rom. 6:14; "What things soever the law saith, it saith to _those who are under the law_."--Rom. 3:19. Then some are under the law and some are not under the law; "Wherefore the law was our tutor unto Christ that we might be justified by faith. But after the faith is come, _we are no longer under a tutor_."--Gal. 3:24, 25. Pause, reader, and try to grasp the meaning of this. If the believer is redeemed from all iniquity (Titus 2:14), and is not under the law, (Rom. 6:14), then he is sure of Heaven; for "sin is not reckoned when there is no law."--Rom. 5:13. It is not reckoned or imputed because it has all been reckoned or imputed to Christ (Is. 53:6, Titus 2:14). Why, then, serve God? Not from fear of the law; not from fear of Hell; but from love to Him who redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us (Gal. 3:13).
