Move along to 2Samuel 12:14 "But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the Lord, the son born to you will die.” Would you call that judgement for disobedience? I sure would.

Grace has never covered and will never cover willful disobedience or dishonoring God. </td></tr></tbody></table>
your version of judgement would be a loss of salvation for David

Do you think it wise to ignore what God has written on our hearts? We can throw our salvation away through disobedience
and rebellion.

For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace."

should have started here
Rom 6:11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
We Christians don't need the law we have the spirit of God for our guide
Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

keep reading as you or I would say
Rom 7:8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.
Rom 7:10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.

the law is for unbelievers to make sin more sinful
the spirit is for believers
do you want believers to become more sinful ?
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
or
Rom 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin worked in our members through the law to bring forth fruit to death.
Rom 7:6 But now we having been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
the law kills the spirit gives life :carryon:
