律法與真自由 The Law and True Freedom

羅馬書6:14保羅說: 罪必不作你們的王, 因你們不在律法之下, 乃在恩典之下。這節經文告訴我們律法與恩典是不能共存的, 好像水火不相容, 在律法之下就不能在恩典之下, 在恩典之下就不能在律法之下; 保羅知道猶大人一定會再起來反對的, 因為猶太人最誇口的就是神所賜的律法, 在猶太人的心裡律法等同於神的恩典, 保羅說律法與恩典不能共存, 對猶太人來說: 這是錯誤的解釋, 羅馬書第七章是保羅對律法的解釋。

Romans says we are not under the law but under grace. So does it mean that following the law conflicts with living under grace? This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explains the role of God’s law in salvation and how this paved the way for grace to take effect.

1. Start with a prayer

2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)

  • Follow up from last week: Share on how you were able to offer every part of yourself to the Lord instead of following your evil desires the past week. What challenges did you face?

3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)

  • Read the passage. How is binding to the law similar to the law of marriage?
  • For you, is the law good or not? Why do you think so?
  • What did you learn about God through the passage?

4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)

  • Reflect: What are your weaknesses and tendencies to sin?
  • In what way do you identify with Paul’s experience?

5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)

  • When faced with a temptation, what specific actions can you do to flee from it?
  • What support can our group provide you?

6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)

  • Thank God because, through Jesus, we are holy and righteous in His sight and we are not required to fulfill the law to be saved.
  • Repent for the times when we fail to flee from temptation and indulge in our fleshly desires.
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to enable us to turn away from temptations and to continue depending on Christ.
