Episode notes
Union With A Living Savior Produces Fruit
- Dying to the law unites believers to Christ so they 'marry' a living, satisfying Savior rather than a list of rules.
- This union produces genuine fruit—love, service, and obedience—from the heart, not external compliance.
Freedom Means Fruit, Not License
- Freedom from the law does not equal freedom to sin; it is freedom to marry One who embodies love and justice.
- True obedience flows like fruit on a vine, not like tinsel hung on a tree.
Newness Of The Spirit Changes Motives
- Being released from the law enables service 'in newness of the Spirit' rather than 'oldness of the letter.'
- Inner renewal by the Spirit changes motives and actions from the inside out, not by external pressure.
