Have you ever wondered where the law ends. Think about it, there is law after law after law and even those that seem to be silly in their application, however we are held accountable to them. You can’t honk your horn near a sandwich shop, you can’t put an animal in the back seat of an open car, and the list goes on. Even in the Levitical law, your tassels must be just so long. Where does it all end. Where do we find the relief from the law. IN CHRIST.

“¹⁰For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.’” “¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree’—“ — Galatians 3:10 & 13 (ESV)

As Paul writes and quotes the book of the law, we are held captive by all of the law. We are having to continue looking to see if we are doing things according to the law and as such are not free to just live our lives. Until Jesus. When Jesus came, He freed us from the law by taking our place as relates to the curse of the law. He took on the curse to allow us to live according to His love and redemption. Jesus provided relief from the law.

Yes, we are still held to account. We are free, yes, but not free to just run wild. We are now under the law of the LORD and not the law according to man. We are guided by the Holy Spirit and will find ourselves not concerned with the law according to man in that it does not run our daily actions in the world. We are free once again as were Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before the fall. We are free to follow and rely on the LORD for all and not man. We have reached the end of the law of man and are able to live according to Christ.

Where is the end of the law for you? Are you held to the idea that we have to know and comply with every law or rule without exception? What if we just focused on the Law of the LORD as written on our heart to be free?
