Free from the Law Metaphor

According to this metaphor, God gave us his commands and laws by which we should live. But nobody can actually live by the law. We all break some part of it some times. As a result we are guilty of breaking the law. As law breakers we should be condemned or sentenced by God when he comes to judge us. But Christ came and showed us a different way to be live. Not by the law, but by love. We are now free from the law and become bound by the principle of love. (Romans 8:1-3)(Romans 7:12-20)
