Episode notes
Freedom From The Law's Curse
- The gospel frees believers from the law's curse by removing condemnation through Christ.
- This freedom is rooted in being in Christ and having God's life within by the Spirit.
Law Reveals Sin But Can't Heal It
- The law exposes and defines sin but cannot justify or change us because the flesh weakens it.
- Sin twists the good law into a mechanism that provokes disobedience rather than sanctification.
What's Gotten Into You?
- Begg uses the everyday question "What's gotten into you?" to illustrate spiritual transformation.
- The point contrasts rule-following with being changed internally by the Spirit's life within.
