Les Feldick Bible Study

How are believers supposed to serve after being delivered from the Law?

Believers serve in newness of spirit, not in the oldness of the letter. Having been delivered from the Law, they are no longer held under that administration of death; instead, they serve in the spiritual realm, in a new frame of thinking, by believing the Gospel rather than returning to legalism or fleshly effort.

Les teaches that since believers are delivered from the Law—the administration of death under which they were held—they are to serve in newness of spirit, not in the oldness of the letter. This is the whole transformation of life in the spiritual realm. Les explains that we are no longer under the Law's oldness of the letter, but in a whole new frame of thinking, the spiritual realm. How do we get there? Believe the Gospel. He then points to Galatians 3:3: having begun in the Spirit by Paul's Gospel through faith plus nothing, believers should not try to move into a deeper spiritual life by the flesh; the flesh wants legalism, Law. It is part of the old Adamic nature to want to be under some kind of Law.
