Christ Changes Our Verdict
- True Christianity is not about keeping laws to change your verdict before God. - Only Jesus Christ's work can reverse the verdict and declare us not guilty.
Law Fails To Sanctify
- The law cannot sanctify or produce holiness in us. - Trying to be holy by law-keeping leads to pride, not transformation.
Turn From Law To Jesus
- Die to the law as your method for becoming holy. - Turn instead to Jesus Christ as the treasure who changes your heart.
