Pastor/Dr. David Murphy reminds us that we could not render the kind of service that God desires under the Law, but the redemptive work of Christ enables the believer to worship and serve God in a new spirit. Pastor will contrast the two ways we serve: 1-in the oldness of the letter and 2-in newness of spirit. We'll then see that the Law (the oldness of the letter) is still necessary today to deal with the unsaved person: 1- to silence man, 2-to show man his guilt, 3- to sensitize man to know what sin is, 4- to substantiate the righteousness of God, 5- to sentence man to wrath, 6- to stir up rebellion in us, and 7- to act as the schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. The Law is good if used lawfully.
