From what are believers delivered?
Believers are delivered from the Law, which was an administration of death. The Law held them, but they are now delivered from it. They are not under the oldness of the letter but serve in newness of spirit. This deliverance comes by believing the Gospel, through faith plus nothing.
Les explains that believers are delivered from the Law, which was an administration of death. The Law was what held them, but now they serve in newness of spirit, not in the oldness of the letter. He contrasts this with the flesh's desire for legalism and Law, which is part of the old Adamic nature. The transformation into the spiritual realm comes by believing the Gospel, by Paul's Gospel through faith plus nothing. He warns against moving into a deeper spiritual life by the flesh, as the Galatians were tempted to do.
