Are you thinking of having an affair?

Look what happened if you cheated under the law which was for Israel,

"If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death" (Lev. 20.10).

"If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel" (Deut. 22.22).

Potent words!

We are no longer under the law, firstly because we are not the nation of Israel, but more importantly because now with Christ we are under the Spirit of the law wherein Christ came to fill up the law (Matt. 5.17); the same applies to the nation of Israel today as well - they are no longer under the law, but under Christ.

The law still remains. Not one tittle of it shall pass away until the millennial kingdom ends, which has yet to begin. But since no man can keep the law, the law pointed to Christ, the only man who could keep the law because Jesus is God. So, instead of coming to condemn (John 3.17), Jesus brought in the dispensation of grace. And that grace is the Holy Spirit indwelling the believer, which was not possible before. Before, the Holy Spirit could come upon men, but could not indwell those who had new life.

This regenerated spirit of born-again believers allowed us to live by the Spirit's leading in our spirit. And though we can not keep the law and since we are no longer under the law, by God's grace we do walk by the Spirit of the law in which God day by day is perfecting those with a spirit of the new creation. :undecided
