Christianity..... A law-free faith?

[James Pierce]

If Christianity is a law-free faith, and sin is the breaking of the law.. Can one logically conclude that there is no sin within Christianity, and God cannot accuse you of sin?

According to 1 John 5:3, the love of God is keeping his commandments. So, if Christianity is a law-free faith, then can we conclude that Christians do not love God?

Christians always say that even though they are saved, they still sin. Christians know that sin is breaking of the law. So, if their faith is law-free, then how can they say they still sin?

The bible states that if there is no law, there is no sin. The bible also say that he who says he is without sin, is a liar, and the truth is not in him Can we conclude that Christians are without sin, and are perfect before God?

If Jesus did not come to abolish the law, and Paul & the Apostles, and the 1st century church kept the law(acts 18, 21, 24), then what makes us different?

[Dr. Ayele Khumari]

Christianity is not a law free faith. We can chose to follow it or not, but just because you don't follow the law, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The law is love. There is a divine law of love. This is what Jesus taught.( his commandments and demonstration). It is love that saves us from sin. When we sin, we are not acting out of love, whether it is love for God or each other. When we act only out of love, we are fulfilling the law.
