There is frankly a LOT of discussion about the relationship of the "Law" to believers in Jesus Christ. To muddy the waters more, there is a question about which law we're talking about - the Mosaic law (given to Jews at Mount Sinai) which has both ritual and moral laws, the books of the law (Genesis to Deuteronomy), the law that is the whole of the OT, the law of Christ (coming in chapter 6!), or the royal law (James 2:8). Paul will help us understand the purpose and beauty of the law as we continue in chapter 3 this week.
