God wants us to obey Him by obeying His commands according to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Law points out sin and imperfection. But the Spirit brings life.
I'm not saying we should break the commands of God found in the Law. And I want to understand what the new covenant is. I understood the new covenant first, without understanding what the Law is. I believe I am to obey God's commands.
How does the letter kill? Don't you think that's important to know?
Would you like to know there's something out there that can
kill you but you don't even know what it is?

You are completely deceived. You
cannot understand the New Covenant without first understanding what Law is. Period.
I believe I am to obey God's commands.
The work of God is to believe on him whom he has sent, and not to pursue righteousness by the works of the Law.
