                        Again, as you will see in this message, we are told NOT
                                   to live by the law of the Old Covenant.

                          But it is the design of the devil to keep us living by it,

                             because we then live in guilt, fear, condemnation,

                                    thoughts of judgment and punishment.

                           We think God is angry at us every time we do bad.
                             Plus it is the design of over 90% of all preachers

                                       and pastors (according to studies)

                                     to keep us living by law because then

                                    we need them more when we blow it.



                                      We become like addicts to the law,

                                and we go to church to get our regular ‘fix.’




                .  .  .



                       The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most powerful thing this

                planet has ever seen. The problem is it is not frequently preached.

                and as Romans says, “How will they believe in Him whom they
                have not heard?… how will they hear without a preacher?” And it

                then adds that what is to be preached is THE GOSEPL OF PEACE

                (Rom 10:14-15).



                       Then Paul adds the clincher that not many preachers live by
                the gospel or preach it (Rom 10:16).
