When the law is preached, it only has one function - and that is to kill the self. The preaching of the law is to not able to bring about holiness. It does not have that ability. But before Christ can bring new life, the law must first bring death. In this message, we examine the Biblical function of the law to bring us to the foot of the Cross.
Many have labeled the preachers of grace as "antinomians", meaning, they consider that the law no longer has value. In this sermon, we examine Apostle Paul's response to the accusers who said he no longer saw the value of the law, as we see the proper value that the law has in pointing us to the finished work of Jesus.
Why does everyone try to live under law? It's because we don't know what the finished work of Christ has done. When we see the new nature that has been given to us through the Cross, we no longer live under the burden of trying to be good enough.
The key to Christian victory over sin is our understanding of sanctification. Find out in this sermon how the self, the will, and the ego have all been conquered through Christ.
