THE LAW KILLS - ALBERT ELISHA OBERDORFER - SAMPLE
If you allow the law to intrude into your life, it is a serious matter. It will take away your joy in the Lord. It will make you grumpy and miserable. It will affect you profoundly. First, within, and then, in turn, everyone you are in touch with around you. But why does the law—for a believer—have such a profound negative effect? Simply because we were not meant to live by the law. Putting believers under the law is a severe offense in the Kingdom of God. It is to be resisted at all costs. Because it promotes self-effort. And with it, either pride or condemnation. As Spirit-filled believers, we are meant to live a life led by the Spirit. “The letter kills, but the Spirit gives life,” Paul writes. We are to live the Romans chapter 8 life. Not the Romans chapter 7 life, which is inevitable when we come under the law. Read the revelation knowledge in this book with an open heart and ask the Holy Spirit to quicken to you these things of the Spirit. So you may gain a heightened awareness of the law, and how to stay away from it. So the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus can take you to places in Christ that are your rightful spiritual inheritance.
