James Krieg will proclaim God’s Word to us this week from Romans 7:1-6. He writes,
“How should we as Christians relate to the Law? In this week’s passage Paul says that we have ‘died to the law’ and been ‘released from the law’ by the death of Christ. This does not mean that it no longer matters how we live; rather, that through Jesus’ atoning death, and our union with him, our relationship to the law has been wonderfully transformed. Once domineering, enslaving and condemning us because of our sin, the law now provides a foundation upon which our lives are built. In grace-based, joyful obedience to the law we know true liberty.”
