Pastor Jack teaches from Romans 7:1-6 on the distinction between legalism and life in the Spirit. He explains that believers have been freed from bondage to the letter of the law through Christ’s death and resurrection, and are now “married” to Jesus—united to Him in a relationship that produces the fruit of the Spirit rather than dead works. Pastor Jack emphasizes that Jesus fulfilled the law completely at the cross, liberating us to walk in newness of life with Him rather than striving under crushing religious rules.
