Christ is the essence of the Law, He is the Law Giver and lives in every believer. We have no longer an excuse to disobey, He is our strength to obey. The Law was given to convict of sin, showing us our sinfulness, now that we have Christ in us, He does the work of the Law in us and redirects us when we disobey. If we are stubborn then He turns us over to our foolishness and allows us to experience the consequences of that rebellion.
Jesus Christ is called the Word and Law
Galatians 6:2
"2 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ."
Christ can never deny Himself, He is the essence of whatever He commands. It is through obedience to Him that we become deeply connected to His Spirit.
Galatians 3:23-25
"23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor."
John 1:1 "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning."
