Are Christians under the ten commandments?

This question is probably one of the most debated doctrine in Christianity. There is a sect of Christians that holds the view that we are not in any way under the ten commandments or under the law in general. But we have others who also expresses an opposite view, they believe keeping the ten commandments is a legitimate requirement for everyone. I will by the grace of God examine the matter at hand biblically, so that a clear understanding will be established. Can I obtain salvation by keeping the ten commandments? Beloved brethren, Paul wrote down this scripture by the Spirit saying: Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.

What is the seal of the Holy Spirit?

Dearly beloved, the seal of the Holy Spirit is an important subject matter, for which am privileged to share with you. It is a blessing to be sealed by the Holy Spirit, hence, it necessitates that we gain an in-depth understanding from the Holy scriptures concerning it. The seal of the Holy Spirit means what?

What is the fruit of the Spirit?

Beloved, in the book of Galatians the fruit of the Spirit is set in sharp contrast to the works of the flesh. Our goal as Christians is to walk in the Spirit, and not to walk in the flesh. I entreat you to patiently read through this short article to get a deeper understanding of the meaning of the fruit of the Spirit. The Works of the Flesh  Galatians 5: 19-21 "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God". In our unregenerate state, our lives were characterized by the works of the flesh. We walked in them without any feeling of remorse or guilt, it was our lifestyle. We were destitute of the Holy Spirit, so we couldn't walk in the Spirit. The passage f...
