Why did God deliver believers from the Law?
Believers are delivered from the Law because it was an administration of death that held them, so that they should now serve in newness of spirit rather than in the oldness of the letter. This deliverance moves them into a spiritual transformation, not legalistic flesh.
Les teaches that the Law was an administration of death, and believers were held by it. Now they are delivered so they can serve in newness of spirit, not in the oldness of the letter. He emphasizes this is a whole transformation of life in the spiritual realm, not just a change of rules. The flesh, by contrast, wants legalism—a return to Law. Les points to Galatians 3:3, where Paul asks if having begun in the Spirit, they now seek a deeper spiritual life by the flesh. Les says it is part of the old Adamic nature to want to be under some kind of Law, but believers are to believe the Gospel and live in the newness of the Spirit.
