Is Paul saying that we shouldn't keep the 10 commandments in Galatians?
Gal 3:2 Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course not! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.
Gal 3:3 How foolish can you be? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort?
Gal 3:4 Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?
Gal 3:5 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.
Gal 3:6 In the same way, "Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith."
Rom 7:4 So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of the law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with the One who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God.
Rom 7:5 When we were controlled by our old nature, sinful desires were at work within us, and the law aroused these evil desires that produced a harvest of sinful deeds, resulting in death.
Rom 7:6 But now we have been released from the law, for we died to it and are no longer captive to its power. Now we can serve God, not in the old way of obeying the letter of the law, but in the new way of living in the Spirit.
Rom 6:4 For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.
Romans 6 talks about this also, and gives the beautiful imagery of what Christian baptism symbolizes: when we go into the water and are completely immersed, it symbolizes the death of our "old man" (the sinful part of us which Jesus paid for and was crucified for, and the part of us that cannot keep from sinning) and when we come back out of the water it symbolizes rising again (like Jesus did from the grave) so that we can walk a life which follows Jesus in "newness of life" in the power of the Holy Spirit.
