Did Christ die on the cross so that man could live in sin according to his desires or did He die so that man could repent and live a life in God according to His law that would bring him eternal life?
Christ died on the cross to fulfil the Law. Chris died on the cross to show that we are all sinners, in need of salvation, which is by faith in Christ keeping the Law on our behalf.
Yes I know the Sola fide doctrine of protestantism. It is false. Faith is ultimately tied to good deeds, repenting from sin and striving to live a life in Christ. If I love my wife, I wouldn't cheat on her. Sola fide is like saying "I love my wife and that's the only thing that matters - cheating on her wouldn't change that". Believing in Christ is a prerequisite for being saved, it makes one "salvable". But it's not enough just like it wasn't enough for Christ to reveal Himself in flesh, to teach and perform miracles without ultimately sacrificing Himself and defeating death for us.
It's true Christ fulfilled the law and made a new covenant with the people of the eternal Israel which is not of this world (His Church). This is why we don't observe the same laws given to the hebrews but that doesn't mean Christ did away with all of His previous law (because He's the one speaking to Moses) and left people do whatever they please. Christ and the Apostles laid out the moral law Christians must follow which is a continuation of the law of the OT. Christ made sinners repent and "sin no more" in order to be saved.
Responsibilities to God, their families and their husbands.
Galatians 5
What do you mean by responsibility to God? In Christ we are made free.
