“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.”

Romans 3:20

WHY WE LIKE LAW ?

1. Law provides a method of measurement.
2. Law provides this false sense of superiority

Romans 7:15

“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do”

Romans 7:15

What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Romans 7:24

WHY FREE IS SUCH AN ENORMUS WORD

” Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you[a] free from the law of sin and death.”

Roman’s 8:1-2

What Does the Word free Mean for People Who LOVE & SERVE JESUS?

• It means that our motivation for righteousness and holiness has changed. Before Jesus it was guilt and fear.
• But now our motivation—instead of guilt and fear it’s grace and love. It’s thanksgiving.
