Romans 6:14 says you are NOT under law, but under grace. What does that really mean — and why does it change everything about how believers live?
✝️ In this verse-by-verse study of Romans 6:13-15, the teaching unpacks one of Paul's most liberating declarations: that believers are no longer under the Mosaic law but under grace. Using a detailed biblical timeline — from Abraham at 2,000 BC through Moses and the 1,500 years of law to the cross — the lesson shows exactly when and why the age of grace began. Cross-references to Galatians 2:4-9 reveal the fierce battle Paul fought to keep Gentile believers free from the law, and why it nearly cost Christianity everything.
💡 Key Topics Covered:
• Romans 6:13 — Yield yourselves to God as instruments of righteousness, not sin
• Romans 6:14 — Sin shall not have dominion — because you're under grace, not law
• Romans 6:15 — Shall we sin because we're not under law? God forbid
• The biblical timeline: Abraham → Moses → 1,500 years of law → the cross → grace
• Why you cannot find grace doctrine in the four Gospels — only in Paul's letters
• Galatians 2:4-9 — False brethren spying out liberty; Paul refuses to yield to law
• James, Peter, and John shake hands with Paul — Gentiles go to Paul, Jews to Peter
• The Dwight L. Moody story: can the grace of God reach the vilest sinner?
