Being separated for the law means we are separated from the law as our only way to obtain righteousness. Separated meaning Christ made it impossible for anyone to follow the law and be found righteous before God.
The only way to find the righteousness/atonement Christ offers is to love your Lord God with all of your heart, mind, spirit, and strength. To love your enemies as yourself (which includes forgiving those who have sinned against you, as you have sinned against God.) and to be faithful to what you have been given. This is what it means to accept Christ as your savior.
Odd, I've heard that last statement before a few times, but it's always a little different each time.
That's beside the point I suppose. Anyway, how is it that you came by this information, if I might ask?
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
