Brief Summary
This explanation defines the difference between being ‘under the law’ as an unbeliever, and ‘upholding the law’ as a believer – as a believer in Messiah (Christ) is instructed to observe the Law of Moses with their faith (Romans 3:31 ESV).
Peaceably, this explanation is shared as many ‘mainstream’ Christians here may mistakenly see such the concept of law observance, as legalistic.
Under vs. Uphold
Under:
To be ‘under the law’, means that a person does not believe in Christ (Messiah) for saving grace from G-d, by Messiah’s hand.
Instead, this person is really relying on their own good deeds for a ruling, when they are judged.
This approach is not conducive of everlasting life without end (ref. Deuteronomy 28:15 , Galatians 3:10, Isaiah 28:16, 28:22, John 3:16).
An article which explains what it means if a person is seeking to be ‘under the law’, can be found here. It features Galatians 4:21;
‘Tell me, you who desire to be under the law…’
(Galatians 4:21 ESV)
Those people were trying to adopt the values of men who refused to believe in Messiah (Christ) at the time, and rather valued their own works (Galatians 4:8, 4:17, 5:4, 5:7).
Uphold:
To uphold the law, means a person does believe in the risen Lord Jesus Christ, and is believing for saving grace at judgement from God through Christ – as they observe the Law of Moses.
This approach means everlasting life without end (ref. Isaiah 28:16, Ephesians 2:20, John 3:16).
Hence,
For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.
Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
(Romans 3:28, 3:31 ESV)
May the Holy G-d bless you beyond maximum in Christ (Messiah). Amen.
