This is where most of the confusion comes in with the law!
How do I as a believer properly relate to it?
 
There are a few topics that come up in regard to this question about the law and the believer like…
 
Can the law justify a person? Can the law make me right with God? Can I be saved by doing enough good?
 
Are we sanctified by the law? Can I keep God's favor and acceptance by keeping the law? Do I become more like Jesus by following the law?

This is episode #3 in our series, The Christian & the Law!
The goal of this series is to gain a biblical perspective on the law, so we have an accurate understanding that will inform how we live our lives!
This episode dives into Christ's relationship to the law.
He born under the Mosaic law as a Jewish person. 
He fulfills the law by living in perfect obedience to it--something no else could do.
He becomes cursed under the law by taking on the penalty of sin for all of humanity.
He is the end of the law for righteousness for those who believe.
He makes the law--its commands and regulations of no effect.
