Sin is the transgression of the law, so if you are trying to repent of sin, are you inside or outside the law?

Romans 4:15 KJV
[15] Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

To be saved, we need the righteousness of God. That righteousness is Christ Jesus, and it is OUTSIDE THE LAW.

Romans 3:21-23 KJV
[21] But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;


Notice, the promise which was to Abraham the father of faith, was NOT through the law. Indeed, if the law was the way to the inheritance, faith is completely void.

Romans 4:13-15 KJV
[13] For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. [14] For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: [15] Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.


Galatians 3:26,29 KJV
[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Romans 11:6 KJV
[6] And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
