Why is the doctrine of the Lord's Prayer legal?
The Lord’s Prayer is legal because it was delivered while the Law was still in force; its theology and doctrine belong to the Law rather than to Grace. Scripture later contrasts these two completely different concepts, showing believers are not under Law but under Grace.
Les teaches that in Matthew chapter 6 the Lord’s Prayer is under the Law, so its theology or doctrine is legal; it is Law. He connects this to Romans 6:14-15 to highlight the difference between Law and Grace, noting that many people in the Bible Belt do not understand that difference. He says the difference between Law and Grace is as great as pitch midnight and high noon sunlight. Paul states that sin or the old Adamic nature shall not have dominion over you because you are not under the Law but under Grace, showing two totally different concepts.
