The Law - Romans 3:27

Romans 3:27 ESV 

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith.

Romans 3:31

Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

We are free from the law of ritual and works of the hand. These have no value in being with God. Faith brings us into the kingdom of heaven. Bowing on our knees has no meaning unless you are bowed in your heart at the feet of the living Lord. God seeks those who worship in Spirit and truth, which is only possible by faith. 

By faith, we uphold the law. By faith, we are freed from the law. By faith, we become a law to ourselves and the righteousness of God.
