HSMS-11T9I9.10
“And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 1Pe 4:18.
You are not under the law if you are led of the Spirit. If you willfully commit sin, you are led of the flesh, and you are absolutely under the law. If you are breaking God’s law you are under the law (not grace), if you do not believe this you might as well be a murder (Jas 2:11).
“Not under the law” does not mean, “not having to follow God's law.” This would contradict a lot of Scripture (Eze 18:20, Deu 1:39, Deu 24:16, Psa 5:4-6, Ecc 7:29, Isa 59:2, Rom 2:12-15, Rom 3:31, Rom 7:12, Rom 7:14a; Rom 7:22, Rom 7:25; Rom 8:4,7; Rom 13:8-10; Mat 5:17-19, Mat 19:17; Joh 14:15, Joh 15:22, Jam 1, Jam 2, 1Jn 2:1-7, 1Jn 3:4, 1Jn 5:2-3, and 2Jn 4-6).
Violating God’s law is a sign that you are not under grace (1 Timothy 1:9-10). Grace is there to forgive your trespass after you repent of (confess and forsake) your sins. The problem with the church today is that they are falsely teaching grace is there to cover your sins that you willfully continue to commit without repentance.
Whoever is teaching people that they do not have to follow God's law when they are breaking the law, they are liars, and speak not the truth.
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.” Tit 1:16.
“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” Heb 10:29.
