Note. The religious people in ChristΓÇÖs time believed in keeping the letter of The Law ΓÇö the outward deeds that showed. However, Christ requires purification ΓÇö to be reborn in The Spirit. In Matthew 3:15 we are told that Christ fulfilled all righteousness. And so it is also with The Law. He did not do away with righteousness or destroy or end righteousness ΓÇö (or The Law). He made ΓÇ£The WayΓÇ¥ for everyone of earthΓÇÖs children to be fulfilled in righteousness ΓÇö His Righteousness; His Grace; His Glory within our hearts. Only then do we have victory over the curse of sin and death ΓÇö- transgression of The Law. We are no longer under the penalty of breaking The Law; of carnality; or sold under sin; ΓÇö but are freed from death, (the wages of sin, Romans 6:23) ΓÇö freed through Calvary and even our very nature has been changed.
