The law works wrath for those that are in the flesh which the flesh can never live up to the law perfectly, and if you offend in the least of the law you offend in all for you broke the law, so there is no salvation while in the flesh.
Paul said we are saved by faith, and not by works, because when we first confess Christ we do it while we are in the flesh so the only thing we can do is have faith for we have not received the Spirit yet, and no works of the flesh will save us.
But then Paul speaks according to the Spirit that he could have all faith so that he could remove mountains, but if he did not have charity, love in action, works, then he is nothing.
And if a person preaches that God blesses with money and material things for their wants withdraw yourselves from them having food and clothing be content, for the love of money is the root of all evil for it neglects the poor and needy, and they have erred from the faith.
Which love is the fulfilling of the law.
And charity is greater than faith, and faith works by love.
So no love which has to be done in works for it to be valid then no faith.
Which James said without charity their faith is dead, the same as Paul said without charity they are nothing and have erred from the faith, so Paul and James say the same thing because they are speaking according to the Spirit, and not the flesh when we first confessed Christ for that is all we can do, for when we have the Spirit we have to have works of love for faith to be valid.
Which John said if they do not have charity then the love of God does not dwell in them, so do not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed, works, and truth.
Which Paul said we do not void out the law through faith, but we establish the law, which means we live up to it, and obey it, and fulfill it like the man Christ Jesus which we can do by the Spirit, and love is the fulfilling of the law.
Which Paul said the law is spiritual, holy, just, and good, so it is not physical but spiritual so we obey it, which are the laws of love, moral laws.
The Bible says that a Spirit led life will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, for they have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts, so a Spirit led life can abstain from sin and obey the law which Paul said establish the law, and do not void it out through faith, for love is greater than faith, and Paul said love does not think an evil thought, and does not sin.
Which a Spirit led life is not under the law because their sins have been forgiven, and they are not sinning, so the law cannot touch them for prosecution.
If a person sins they are under the law, and only a Spirit led life is not under the law, not someone that sins and says they are not under the law for then they are not led of the Spirit.
Not under the law means if you are led of the Spirit the law cannot touch you for prosecution, not that you do not have to obey it, or it does not apply, but if you sin you are under the law no matter how much you confess Christ until you repent and get rid of it.
The flesh cannot live up to the law, so nobody could be saved while in the flesh, so that is why it works wrath to those in the flesh, but a Spirit led life can live up to the law for the law cannot touch them for prosecution, and Paul said we establish the law, and live up to it, obey it.
For everybody has to obey the law whether in the flesh or in the Spirit, and the Spirit will not twist anybody's arm to obey the law so people have to take responsibility and make the choice to obey the law before the Spirit will lead them to obey the law.
Not the attitude not under the law but holding unto sin and think it does not affect not under the law as some people do.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
1Co 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
1Co 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Also righteousness has to be done in action, works, for it to apply in your life the same as love has to be done in action, works, for it to apply in your life to be able to have faith valid in your life.
