What does it mean to be “not under law but under grace” and to be “redeemed from the curse of the Law?”

In Romans 6 Paul reveals that a believer is not under law but under grace. Was he speaking historically? In other words, is a New Testament believer not under law but under grace, whereas an Old Testament believer was only under law? Was an Old Testament believer excluded from grace? Or was Paul’s revelation that a believer is not under law but under grace a revelation of what had always been true for believers in every historical era? This Session considers all of the texts where the phrase “under law” occurs, and examines how the insights gleaned from them clarify what it means to be “under the law” and subsequently “redeemed from the curse of the law.”
