1 John 3:4: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."

Which law is being referred to here? There are several laws in the Bible such the law of liberty, the law of Moses, the law of sin and so on.

To think 1 John 3:4 refers specifically and only to the Mosaic Law shows profound ignorance.

The “law” mentioned here refers to all of God’s instructions.

Adam & Eve were under the law of God which had one rule at the time, do not eat the fruit. When they disobeyed, that was sin. The tree of life is no longer available so that law doesn’t apply to us today.

The Old Testament Israelites were given the Mosaic Law. Disobedience to that was sin for them. Jesus fulfilled that Law which was given to point to Him, the Levitical system was abolished, and believers today aren’t under that law. You don’t need to wear blue fringes (Num. 15:38) on your clothing and you don’t need to worry about what material your clothes are made from, and so forth. You’ll notice that frauds who pretend to follow the Mosaic Law prove their hypocrisy as they don’t follow these instructions.

Additionally, there are new rules or laws given in the New Testament, not found in the Old, and it is sin to be disobedient to them. So 1 John 3:4 cannot possibly refer to just the Old Testament.

Today, believers are “under law to Christ” and we are to be like Him by being obedient to the instructions found in the New Testament.

Romans 14:23: "And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."
