What is the result of the gospel in relation to the Law for believers?
As a result of the Gospel, believers are delivered from the Law, which is dead and no longer holds them. They are freed to serve in newness of spirit rather than in the oldness of the letter, no longer laboring under the old system of Law that God considers crucified and gone.
Les explains that when people were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the Law, worked in their members to bring forth fruit unto death. The Law condemned the Jew, constantly putting him down as guilty, and human nature is to be a law breaker. But now, as a result of the Gospel, believers are delivered from the Law, that being dead wherein they were held. They should serve in newness of spirit, not in the oldness of the letter. Les says we are not to be laboring under that old system of Law which is now crucified; as far as God is concerned, it is dead and gone. Israel had a veil that was never taken away because they could never understand that the Law was now finished and done, and that is why they are still trying to keep it today.
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.
