Sermon on
The Law as a Revealer of Sin

4.2 The Law of the Spirit: We now live under the law of the Spirit, empowered to live a life pleasing to God, not by our own efforts, but by the power of the Holy Spirit within us. Romans 8:1-4

5. The Law and Christian Living

5.1 The Law as a Guide: While we are not under the law, it still serves as a guide for godly living, teaching us how to love God and our neighbor. Matthew 22:37-40

5.2 The Law and Love: Love is the fulfillment of the law. When we love others, we are fulfilling the law's requirements. Romans 13:8-10
