What realm are believers in now that they are not under the Law?
Believers are now in the spiritual realm, serving in newness of spirit rather than in the oldness of the letter. Having been delivered from the Law, they are no longer held under that administration of death but live in this whole new frame of thinking, the spiritual realm, entered by believing the Gospel.
Les explains that the Law was an administration of death, and being dead wherein we were held, believers are delivered from it. Now they serve in newness of spirit, not in the oldness of the letter. This is a whole transformation of life in the realm of the spiritual, a new frame of thinking. Les ties this to Galatians 3:3, warning that having begun in the Spirit by Paul's Gospel through faith plus nothing, they should not try to move into a deeper spiritual life by the flesh, which wants legalism and Law. How do we get there? Believe the Gospel.
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.
