Jesus, the Spirit and the Gospel purified your heart and now you love your neighbor as yourself. And you bear love, joy, peace, longsuffering, goodness, gentleness, meekness, temperance, faith against such things. Now listen, against such things there is no law.
That's how you fulfill the law through Christ. First Galatians 5 18 says if you're led by the if, if, if, if, if, if you're led by the Spirit of God then you're no longer under the law. Then you're no longer under the judgment wrath, curse of God, if you're led by the Spirit of God because the Spirit of God leads you to overcome.
But it didn't say, people say, well Jesus became a curse for me at Calvary. He doesn't become a curse for people at Calvary who walk in the form of godliness. He became a curse for those at Calvary who are led by the Spirit of God.
And then we get in Romans 8 verse 2. It says the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the spirit of sin or sin and death, spirit of sin, from the law. I mean the law of sin and death, the law of death. You commit sin and then law, God's law brings death.
Amen.
