Are believers delivered from the Law?
Yes. Believers are delivered from the Law, which was an administration of death. They are no longer under the oldness of the letter but serve in newness of spirit. This comes by believing the Gospel, not through legalism or the flesh, because the Law is what held them.
Les explains that the Law was an administration of death, and believers have been delivered from it so that they should serve in newness of spirit rather than the oldness of the letter. He says this transformation puts them in the spiritual realm, and the way to enter it is to believe the Gospel. Les contrasts this with the Galatian error of trying to grow by the flesh, which craves legalism and Law. He notes it is part of the old Adamic nature to want to be under some kind of law, but the believer is not under that oldness of the letter.
But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
What does it mean to be delivered from the Law and serve in newness of spirit?
It means the Law, an administration of death that held us, no longer governs the believer. Instead of serving by the oldness of the letter, the believer serves in a transformed spiritual life—the newness of spirit—entered by believing the Gospel, having begun in the Spirit through faith plus nothing, not by fleshly legalism.
Why did God deliver believers from the Law?
Believers are delivered from the Law because it was an administration of death that held them, so that they should now serve in newness of spirit rather than in the oldness of the letter. This deliverance moves them into a spiritual transformation, not legalistic flesh.
