How and why is it true that believers are not under the law but under grace? Christ
died under the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). Having satisfied all of its righteous claims through death He
became free from the law. But Christ did not remain dead: He arose the third
day, and we are told that believers arose with Him. All of this is
constructively or positionally true of the believer; wherefore he is
admonished: “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive
unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:11). The believer’s new life is thus a sharing of the
resurrection life of Christ and as such it is under grace. It would be
disastrous to put sinful flesh under grace. Rather, God puts the flesh to death
through Christ so that we may walk in newness of life under grace.
