THE CHRISTIAN AND THE LAW

Part 3

Romans 7:6

1. How are we delivered from the law? When is that accomplished? 6

 

 

 

 

2. What is the goal of the law? Why can the law not accomplish this goal? Matthew 22:37-40; Galatians 5:14

 

 

 

 

3. What does being dead to the law not mean? How is the new relationship of those who are dead to the law described?

 

 

 

 

4. Define "oldness of the letter" and "newness of the Spirit." How does the law fulfill God’s purpose? What is the goal of Christianity? [Piper’s illustration, Galatians 3:24-25; Philippians 3:3-11]

 

 

 

 

5. Describe the contrast of a relationship based on the letter of the law and one based on the newness of the Spirit [love].
