Relationship+Rules=Freedom In a nutshell, Jerry says there are 3 reasons to love God’s law:
1. It demonstrates God’s character.
2. It defines our guilt. (Pain alerts us to the fact that we have a problem that requires a Solution.)
3. It helps us to understand the depth of God’s grace. (Believers are cleansed from ALL unrighteousness.)
Scriptures covered are: Psalm 119:33-40, Romans 13:1, Psalm 19;7-9, Romans 7:7, Romans 1:18, Psalm 73:1-17, Exodus 31:18, Eph. 2:10, & Phil. 1:16.
We are not kept by good works. They are a part of our sanctification. We are justified by Christ alone. Rules without relationship results in rebellion. We are the prodigal son and God is our Father embracing us in spite of our sin because of Jesus’ perfect, preceptive, & penal obedience. Because of Jesus we are allowed to go free. Because of the relationship the rules are a source of freedom. And oh, how we love God’s law!
