    Who Am I

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015
     | 7,339 views

    Paul said in Romans 6:14, “we are not under law but under grace”. So does that mean the law has no value to us? If we think because we are a Christian under the new covenant we don’t have to pay any attention to the old covenant we are mistaken.
