OK. Thanks.

I don’t believe that we are under the Law any more or OBLIGATED to obey the Law, but the born again believe WILL want to live out the Law.

But there’s a huge difference in obeying as the fruit of salvation because it’s the natural outworking of salvation in a person’s life, and obeying out of the feeling of necessity or need cause otherwise, I’m not getting to heaven.

Well, the mistake is thinking that obedience to the law is going to get any one to heaven. Obeying the law isn’t going to get anyone to heaven. The law is useful in identifying sin and leading us to Christ cause it showed us that we have broken the righteous requirements of God.

Oh I agree, law does not save you, boasting, self-righteousness can make a proud creature. Fruits and humility are important to follow though.
