Faith in Christ is Superior to Keeping the Law

 “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Does emphasizing our faith invalidate the law? Absolutely not. Instead, our faith establishes the role the law should rightfully have.  Paul’s conviction was that faith in Christ is superior to keeping the law.  The rightful role of the law is to bring conviction of sin and to present God’s standard of holiness, now fulfilled in Christ.  As Paul later explains that now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living His life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!  For Christ is the end of the law and because of Him, God has transferred His perfect righteousness to all who have faith to believe.  God has placed faith in us after we made the free-will choice to follow Christ and He enables us by His Holy Spirit to become like Christ in Whose image we are made.  It’s not about conversion, it’s about conviction of faith!  Amen!
