# Jezus' opstanding

C
  Legally we attain the status He had, just like legally He accepted the status we had — that of death convicts. As we say: when God looked at Jesus on the cross, He saw us, and when He looks at us, He sees Jesus. But, having been born a human being, Jesus was under the law too — and kept it scrupulously and perfectly.
M
  So you will still be responsible for the sins you commit after Jesus died.
C
  Yes, we would be, wouldn't we? However, as the verse I quoted says, something miraculous happened: Christ conquered death and rose from the grave. Can you see the consequences of that?
M
  Please help me.
C
  We live in Christ's place, and now Christ Himself is alive. He has died, and therefore is no longer under the law — I shall discuss that in a moment. So we live the life of someone who stands outside the law, that is: we are no longer under the law ourselves!
M
  Yes, you must explain that. If it is true, then we can do what we want without fear for punishment, because there is no law.
