A Christian is under the law for nothing whatever because he is under Christ dead and risen. Christ was under it once; but then I had nothing to say to Him. He passed out of it on the cross, and my association with Christ begins thenceforward. I am united with Christ in heaven, not on the earth. What has Christ in heaven to do with the law? Hence we are said to be under grace, not under law. Further, this doctrine is most practical. The walk is amazingly lowered where a mistake is made about it, and Satan tries to bring in the law after believing, if he cannot pervert it to hinder believing.
