In this first part of a two-part series, Brother Bob of 'Yahweh’s Word Unfiltered' dismantles the common Christian belief that born-again believers are 'not under the law' but 'under grace.' He argues that this misunderstanding stems from a misinterpretation of Romans 6:14 and reveals that being 'under grace' does not exempt believers from obedience to God’s laws. Instead, he emphasizes that throughout biblical history—from Adam to the Church Age—believers have always been under Yahweh’s laws, not as a means of salvation, but as a response to grace. Salvation has always been by faith alone, but obedience to God’s commandments is a necessary expression of that faith. Bob distinguishes between obsolete Old Testament ceremonial laws (like temple sacrifices) and enduring moral laws (such as prohibitions against adultery and murder), which remain binding for believers today. He also explains that while church leaders no longer have the authority to enforce Old Testament punishments like stoning, they still have the responsibility to discipline unrepentant sinners through exclusion from fellowship. The episode concludes with a strong warning: believers are held to a higher standard because they are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and disobedience will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ. Bob promises to present six reasons in Part Two why believers are indeed under God’s law.
Salvation has always been by grace through faith, never by obedience to laws.
Believers in every era—from Adam to the Church Age—have been under Yahweh’s laws, not to earn salvation, but as a response to it.
Old Testament ceremonial laws (e.g., temple sacrifices) are no longer applicable; moral laws remain binding.
The New Testament church epistles contain Yahweh’s laws for believers today, and disobedience is sin.
Church leaders must discipline unrepentant sinners, even if they can't enforce Old Testament penalties.

The Myth of Being 'Not Under the Law'
“I'll bet you've heard this concept shared numerous times over the years. Maybe you even believe that idea yourself. And I wonder, do you even know what the term being under the law means?”
Salvation by Grace, Not Law-Keeping
Bob clarifies that no one has ever been saved by obeying God’s laws, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Paul. He cites Romans 3:28, Titus 3:5, and Ephesians 2:8–9 to affirm that salvation is a free gift of grace through faith.
The Enduring Nature of Moral Laws and Church Discipline
“Because today's believers are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, our Heavenly Father actually holds today's born-again believers more accountable for disobeying His commandments, His laws, His teachings, than He did with the Old Testament believers who did not have the Spirit of the Lord living inside them.”
“Because today's believers are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, our Heavenly Father actually holds today's born-again believers more accountable for disobeying His commandments, His laws, His teachings, than He did with the Old Testament believers who did not have the Spirit of the Lord living inside them.”
“It's a terrifying thing for a believer to fall into the hands of the living God.”
“No one was ever saved because they did a good job of obeying Yahweh's laws. And that's because, being that we're all sinners, none of us could ever keep his laws perfectly.”
