Romans 7:4
Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
When we accept Christ, we die to the Law, that we might serve another, that is Christ. When we accept Christ forgiveness we no longer are held captive by the Law so that we can serve and bring glory to God. We do not live under the Law but for the glorification of our Savior.
The key to the Christian life is not the law, but that we belong to a master, that we belong to a lover, that we belong to the Savior, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We belong to a master whose spirit lives in us, whose cross is behind us, and whose hope and joy is before us.
-John Piper
