The law in the lives of those liberated by grace

And God spoke all these words, saying: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.”
Exodus 20:1-2

One more thought about the law for those who have been delivered, whether from Egyptian slavery or slavery to sin.

First, let us be reminded by the Lord Jesus, that prior to being saved, all lost people are slaves to sin.

John 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

Then, the Apostle Paul reaffirms what Jesus said, adding that once freed from slavery to sin, believers are to consider themselves slaves to righteousness

Romans 6:16-18 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. (emphasis added)

The point is that once we are freed from bondage to sin through faith in the finished work of Christ, the law is no longer a means of condemnation, but it is instruction regarding how to live in liberty. Woe to the Christian who rejects the law because of grace, instead of understanding its liberating quality in the lives of believers!
