_Mat. 5:17‐19_—“_Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven_”; _48_—“_Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect_”; _1 Pet. 1:16_—“_Ye shall be holy; for I am holy_”; _Rom. 10:4_—“_For Christ is the end of the law unto righteousness to every one that believeth_”; _Gal. 2:20_—“_I have been crucified with Christ_”; _3:13_—“_Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us_”; _Col. 2:14_—“_having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out of the way, nailing it to the cross_”; _Heb. 2:15_—“_deliver all them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage._” (_b_) That the union between Christ and the believer secures not only the bearing of the penalty of the law by Christ, but also the impartation of Christ’s spirit of obedience to the believer,—in other words, brings him into communion with Christ’s work, and leads him to ratify it in his own experience. _Rom. 8:9, 10, 15_—“_ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but __ the spirit is life because of righteousness.... For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear: but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father_”; _Gal. 5:22‐25_—“_But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self‐control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof_”; _1 John 1:6_—“_If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth_”; _3:6_—“_Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him._” (_c_) That the freedom from the law of which the Scriptures speak, is therefore simply that freedom from the constraint and bondage of the law, which characterizes those who have become one with Christ by faith.
