How to Stop Living Under the Law

He who the Son sets free is free indeed. Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

If you think  you may be living “under the law” – if you’re attitudes can be characterized by Judgement over Grace, Works over Relationship, Shame over Identity there are a few easy steps for you to take.

1. Recognize What It Means to Be Born Again

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! 2 Corinthians 5:17 (New Living Translation)

2. Put Off Your Old Self

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24 (New International Version)

Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices Colossians 3:9 (New International Version)

3. Stay Free

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. Galatians 5:1 (New Living Translation)

Let’s set it right and start living right.

“Heavenly Father. I confess to you the sin that seems to so easily trap me. You  know what it is. I’ll name it out loud to you in private. I have agreed with the enemy that I should have to pay for the sin. I know you’ve already paid the price and finished the work on the cross. You are the only One who could pay the price and make everything right. Show me how I can repent in thought and action. Help me live my life free from sin.”

Now you may need help to stop living under the law and break the Condemnation Cycle. I highly recommend Accountability Groups and if you’re interested to find out more there are pamphlets available for you, but maybe in the next post I’ll give you some Accountability Groups information.
