Ruth 4:13 “So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.”
All of her life Ruth had been barren, but having come into this new relationship with Boaz, we see the blessing of God and the fruitfulness of Ruth! She conceives and bares a son. Indeed, freedom from the Law produces fruitfulness! And 1 Cor. 15:56 tells us that keeping people under the law will NEVER lead to true holiness because the power of sin comes from the law! Also, Rom 7:4 tells us that ‘you also were made to die to the law… so that you may be joined to another (Jesus)… in order that you might bear fruit for God!
According to the word of God, true freedom from the law is the VERY THING that allows fruit to be produced in our lives! But notice that it says that you are free from the law so that you may be joined to another. It’s not freedom to do whatever you like, but freedom to live in a relationship dependant upon the Lord Jesus to produce in you what you never could. And that’s why when it lists the fruit of Spirit in Galatians 5:22, it ends with “against such things there is no law.” The fruit of the Spirit can only be produced from the Spirit of God and could never be produced by trying to be good or by obeying the Law. Hence, against such things there is no law.
