This man find himself in a prison called sin one day, and there is no way out of this prison.

He has been convicted by the Law, and he is going to be put too death in a few weeks. However, the Warden comes to his cell one day, and takes him to a room, once in the room called Freedom, he sees this huge lead weight called Law, about two-tons, the Warden then says too him:

“The only way out of this prison sin, is for you to pick up this weight, Law, and move it to the other side of the room called Freedom.”

Well, he is stunned! “How can a person move that weight across the room, he ask the Warden?” The Warden says: “I have been here for thousands of years, and no one has ever budged it, let alone moved it, but I must legally give you the chance that is what the Law requires of me, before we put you too death.”

Well, what is the point this guy thinks, but nonetheless, he puts all his strength into it, but he can't even rock this monster weight, the Warden then say; “have faith and try again”; 'you say, have faith in what'! ; “ your ability to believe in yourself”

“What a joke, the man says to the Warden, there not enough faith in all the world that I could muster enough strength to move this thing, I am a condemned man”.

The day came for this man to be put too death, and the Warden comes to his cell for the execution and says: “Your free to, go!”

This guy says; “How can that be possible I couldn't move the weight I am a condemned man?”

Well, says the Warden; “you have been saved by another man who moved the weight Law for you, but he died in doing so, your free – go!” “But sir, who is this man, I must honor him?”

Well, says the Warden, “I don't know, but I no longer have a job, you see, this good man completed the law by moving it across the room Freedom, for all those I have been holding in the prison Sin, their all free now, if they put faith in this good man. He completed the Law by moving the weight that's all I know, he removed the Law that convicted you too death, your free, go!”

But once outside of this prison Sin, he had all these people telling him that he must obey the Law again which had convicted him of death, and if he did not, the Law would still convict him too death.

But he said; “how can that be, I am free, and I did nothing worthy, the good man gave his life to free me?” But these people said, “the Law is good, and is still over you, and if you don't obey you will die in the prison sin”.

But he said: “there is no longer a prison of Sin, and the Warren lost his job, because of this good man”.

Still they insisted, obey or you are lawless, but he said: “I couldn't keep the law in the prison sin, it condemned me too death and gave me no way out of the prison Sin, It was humanly impossible for me to move the weight called Law; is this good man again to die for me? Which one of you are going to move the weight Law for me?”

Well, these people said: “be obedient to the Law, if your obedient the Law is gone, you fool, but if you don't keep the Law your evil, and lawless that's what we know!”.

Well, said the free man; “I will chose to believe in the good man, not dishonoring his life; claiming I can move the weight Law is a lie, I won't live that lie; I going to put faith in his good man's works done for me, not obedience to the weight Law, which none of you can move, that would be a lie.”

Rom.10:1 Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. 10:2 For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
10:3 For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God. 10:4 For Christ is the fulfillment{or, completion, or end} of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
