Episode notes
Married To Christ, Dead To The Law
- Paul uses the marriage analogy to show believers have died to the law through Christ and are now 'married' to the risen Lord.
- Death in Christ ends the law's dominion so the law no longer governs us as a way of salvation.
Law Rooted In Creation And Conscience
- Paul refers not only to Mosaic law but to the moral law grounded in creation and conscience.
- Sin and death existed before Moses, showing the moral law's prior dominion over humanity.
Christ Took The Curse, Not The Law's End
- In Christ believers are delivered from the law as a means of salvation and its curse is borne by Christ.
- We must not seek justification by law-keeping but by Christ's righteousness received by faith.
