Kathie's comment on 2013-04-14 04:03:46:

We in the weakness of the flesh were unable to follow the law. so christ died in the flesh he died for our sins. he overcame death and was resurrected. So like christ we die to sin and are born again in a new spirit. We follow the Holy Spirit, if we hear and obey the spirit we will be in God's will so don't have to worry about the law.

Under the Mosaic Law, our sins were revealed to us as the law served as a schoolmaster to point out our transgressions. It was powerless to do anything about our sins, thus the law was condemning and rendered judgment on many. This is why God sent his son Jesus Christ to die for our sins and condemning sin rendering it powerless over those who were washed in his blood who received the remission of sins. He became sin, but knew no sin, thus being pure and undefiled. Therefore, as being in Christ Jesus, we are new creatures, old things have passed away, and all things have been made new - 2 Corinthians 5:17.
