The Christian is under grace, not law, and it is by the Spirit that he or she overcomes the lusts of the flesh, and loves God and neighbor.
Ever wondered how the Mosaic Law fits into modern Christian life? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson tackles this exact question. This is part two of a series where Peterson sheds light on the New Testament's stance on the law and the gospel of free grace. He passionately argues that Christians are under grace, not the law, and it's by the Spirit that they overcome worldly temptations and love both God and neighbor.
Peterson challenges the idea that Christians must adhere to the Mosaic Law, calling it 'another gospel'. He emphasizes that true spiritual growth comes from living by the Spirit, not by following old covenant rules. Drawing from examples like Peter's preaching to Cornelius and Paul's message to the Greeks in Athens, Peterson illustrates how the early apostles focused on grace rather than law.
He contrasts The Ministry of The Letter, which brings death, with The Ministry of The Spirit, which brings life. For Christians, the law is written on their hearts and minds, making it unnecessary to carry it as a burden. Instead, they are called to walk by the Spirit, letting it guide their actions and desires. Peterson also addresses how some theological systems have tried to undermine grace by insisting on the law's necessity.
He firmly states that the cross's sufficiency should never be diminished. For anyone grappling with how to balance grace and law in their faith journey, this episode offers valuable insights and practical wisdom. Tune in to understand why living by the Spirit is the true path for Christians.
