The meeting of Grace Christian Church. We meet in person and stream services every Sunday at 10:30 AM EST in Manalapan, New Jersey.
Sermon from njgrace.org on Romans 7:1-6, part of "Finished Work of the Cross" series. Explains believers' spiritual freedoms via Christ's death/resurrection: death to Law, union with Christ, fruitful Spirit-led service. Warns of devil's hindrances to these truths.
Key Points:
- Finished Work: Spiritual truths from Christ's sacrifice ushering New Covenant of Grace (Heb 10:14).
- Devil's tactics: Hinders hearing/obeying truth via deception, circumstances (1 Thess 2:17-18; Gal 5:7-8); pray in Jesus' authority to overcome.
- Previous truths: Believers stand in grace, reconciled, co-crucified/resurrected with Christ, freed from sin, eternal life.
- Marriage illustration (Rom 7:1-3): Death nullifies laws/contracts.
- Truth 1: Died to Law (Rom 7:4a,6a) - Released from all Law (613 commands, including 10; no Christian rules as Law).
- Truth 2: Joined/united to Christ (Rom 7:4b) - Source for living, not Law.
- Truth 3: Fruitful service in Spirit (Rom 7:4c-6) - Bears Godly fruit; Law/flesh yields dead fruit.
- Call: Receive revelation, serve from Christ, discuss.
