A sheep in wolf's clothing.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
(Romans 7:14) NKJV
A major theme of the Bible, particularly the New Testament, is that we have two natures: carnal and spiritual. Even if we’re born again through faith in Jesus Christ, these two natures are at war within us.

Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.
(Ezekiel 22:26) NKJV
Holy and unholy (profane) are synonyms for clean and unclean. They’re part of how the Bible describes spiritual condition. We’re either alive or dead, spiritual or carnal, giving or receiving, holy or unholy, clean or unclean.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
(Romans 8:1-8) NKJV
We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) found a statement of the role of gravity in the plan of redemption and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans chapter 8 resolves as Newton’s second law of motion (F=MA).

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2) KJV
When we believe in Jesus Christ we’re quickened, and we have the power to overcome the real weight of real sin which is dragging us down to a real hell.

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
(Romans 3:21-23) NKJV
Mosaic gravity, M the law, condemns us because we’ve all fallen short of the glory of God. Yet M has no power to save us from the condemnation that is clearly establishes. The only hope for our salvation is q, the quickening which comes from believing in Jesus Christ.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
(Romans 8:1) ESV
There’s no condemnation [M] to them that are in Christ Jesus because we’re quickened [q]. We walk not after the flesh [pG] but after the Spirit [A]. This gives us a gravitational mechanism for redemption.
