Therefore, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:1-2

There are ways that you can be freed from facing the penalty of a law. You can abolish the law. You can escape the law. You can follow the law. But all these are partial. Because say the law is a good law - how can you abolish it without making things worse? Or say you escape the law - you will be a fugitive and the law might someday catch you. Or say you follow the law - what happens then when you break it?

No the best way to be freed from facing the penalty of a law is for someone to fulfill it. That is what Jesus Christ has done for us. His work is not partial but permanent.
