In a Facebook Group devoted to the promulgation of new-covenant theology, one which takes the view that the believer is not under the law of Christ, a recent (September 2017) thread had an opening post which included the following statement: No Law! ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, e tle ess, self-co trol a ai st such thi s there is o law alatia s - 23 ESV. This verse is indisputable. It cannot be implied that Paul only intends to say that the law of Moses alone is not in play – he plai ly says ‘NO LAW OF ANY KIND A d this indicates that when he says, so many times, elsewhere, that the believer is ot ‘u der law , he also mea s ‘ ot u der a y law Not merely ‘ o lo er u der the law of Moses , as some would like to have it, although the Gentile never was anyway. |
