True believers in Jesus Christ have been set free from the bondage of the Mosaic Law. No longer do we need to strive to obey the Law in order to be accepted by God. Instead, our relationship with God is secure because of Jesus Christ, and what He accomplished for us on the cross. Continuing to live by the Law divides and enslaves us; living by the promise of God sets us free. Every believer has the choice of whether to be a child of the Law, or a child of the promise.
