Does the Law have any power over a person who is under Grace?

Under Grace the Law has no power over the believer. The question is asked whether we should sin because we are not under Law but under Grace, and the answer is God forbid. Grace does not give license to sin; it places us under a different set of circumstances.

Les explains that the whole book of Galatians is written to prove that under Grace the Law has no power over us. However, this does not give us license to sin; we are under a whole different set of circumstances. He contrasts Legalism, or Law, with Grace, using the Lord's Prayer and a hostage account where a man believed he had to forgive others to be forgiven by God—a demand of the Law. Les teaches that few people comprehend this difference.
