Jesus, the end of law...

On the road to righteousness are 2 parts: first is the law and the second is the gospel, which is the life of Jesus.

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4

Sin is the transgression of the law

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

Since all have sinned, all are under the condemnation of the law.

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one” Romans 3:10

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23

When law ends, transgression of the law ends, sin ends.

“Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.” Romans 4:15

The law cannot make you righteous nor can the law save you. The purpose of the law is to give you a knowledge of sin. And in doing so, it brings you to the foot of Jesus.

“Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:20

Once you reach the foot of Jesus, the law ends and the gospel begins.

“For Christ is the end of the law…” Romans 10:4

Christ’s lived a sinless life. Therefore the gospel is a sinless life.

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15

“Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth” 1 Peter 2:22

There was a sinner, a woman taken in the very act adultery. She was taken by the scribes and Pharisees which represents the law, and dragged to the foot of Jesus. Since Jesus is the end of law, the law left and Jesus remained. She was commanded to “sin no more”.

“And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” John 8:3-11
