Q & A

What does the speaker emphasize as the key to drawing closer to God?

The speaker emphasizes that drawing closer to God is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work, not through legalistic practices or striving under the law.

How does the speaker describe the curse of the law?

The curse of the law is described as the separation between humanity and God. The law brings a curse because it highlights human inability to achieve righteousness on their own.

What is the speaker’s view on hearing God’s voice?

The speaker argues that the inability to hear God's voice is not due to personal failure or demonic attacks but rather a misunderstanding of the gospel. Hearing God's voice is based on the grace of God and belief in the gospel.

What does the speaker mean by ‘meticulous observations of a law’?

The speaker refers to ‘meticulous observations of a law’ as legalistic practices or rituals that people follow in an attempt to earn God's favor or grow closer to Him, which are contrary to the principles of the New Covenant.

How does the speaker differentiate the Old Covenant from the New Covenant?

The Old Covenant is based on the law and brings a curse, while the New Covenant is based on grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The New Covenant allows believers to have direct access to God, free from the burdens of the law.

What role does the Holy Spirit play in the believer's relationship with God?

The Holy Spirit, sent into the hearts of believers, enables them to cry out ‘Abba, Father,’ which represents a personal, intimate relationship with God as His adopted children.

What is the danger of returning to the law, according to the speaker?

The danger of returning to the law is that it leads people back into slavery to legalism, which prevents them from fully experiencing the freedom and grace available through Jesus Christ.

What does the speaker mean by ‘you are no longer a slave but a son’?

This statement refers to the believer's position in Christ. Once adopted into God's family through grace, believers are no longer bound by the law or sin, but are now children of God, co-heirs with Christ.

How does the speaker address the issue of legalism in the church?

The speaker points out that many churches impose legalistic practices, which are not rooted in Scripture or the New Covenant. These practices often conflict with the teachings of grace and the freedom believers have in Christ.

What does the speaker say about the freedom found in Christ?

The speaker emphasizes that true freedom is found in Christ alone, as He frees believers from the law's curse and offers grace. This freedom allows for a genuine relationship with God, unlike the bondage of legalistic practices.
