Are believers today delivered from the Law?
Yes. Grace Age believers are delivered from the Law. They do not have to keep the Law, because God gives them the Holy Spirit, who becomes their guideline instead of the Ten Commandments. This does not mean it is now acceptable to kill, steal, or commit adultery, for the Spirit shows those things are wrong.
Les explains that Gentiles receive the promise of the Holy Spirit, and all of God's purposes come to fruition in this glorious Age of Grace. He emphasizes that believers today not only do not have to keep the Law, but as a result of salvation God gives them something 10,000 times better than the Ten Commandments—the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit becomes their guideline, not the Ten Commandments. When Les says we are not under the Law, he clarifies this does not mean throwing out the fact that it is wrong to kill, steal, or commit adultery, because the Holy Spirit will show us those things. He points to Romans chapter 7, where he says it is so beautifully stated that Grace Age believers are delivered from the Law. He notes this is simple enough for a sixth grader to read.
How clear is the Bible's teaching that believers are delivered from the Law?
Scripture presents the believer's deliverance from the Law as very clear and simple. Romans 7 states that Grace Age believers are delivered from the Law. The Holy Spirit, not the Ten Commandments, becomes the guideline, and even a sixth grader can read and understand this truth.
Are Grace Age believers delivered from the Law?
Yes. Believers in the Age of Grace are freed from Law-keeping; they are not under the Law as a rule of life. God instead gives the Holy Spirit as their guideline, replacing the Ten Commandments. This does not permit sin, for the Spirit teaches what is right.
