Pastor Jack teaches on the destructive nature of legalism and the liberating power of walking in the Spirit rather than being bound by the letter of the law. Drawing from Romans 7:1-6, he explains that believers have died to the law through Christ’s death and are now married to the resurrected Christ, who produces spiritual fruit in their lives. Pastor Jack emphasizes that while we cannot fulfill God’s law through our own efforts, Christ’s life in us brings genuine obedience and transformation, freeing us from condemnation and enabling us to serve in the newness of the Spirit rather than the oldness of the letter.
