The Final Death of Legalism, Romans #19

In this message from 1973, Pastor Jack explores Romans 7:7-25, unpacking the three positive values that God’s law serves for believers. Pastor Jack teaches that the final death of legalism occurs when we gain a true perspective on God’s law—recognizing it not as a crushing burden meant to earn salvation, but as a revelation of God’s design for life, a holy and good standard that points us toward Christ, and ultimately something that drives us to confess our absolute inability to perform it in our own strength, bringing us to dependence on the Holy Spirit.
