Destroying The Snare Of Legalism - 66

DESTROYING THE SNARE OF LEGALISM – AUGUST 02, 2021

 

“How do we live a life that is pleasing to God?”

 

Hello, everyone! It’s the first Monday of August and it’s time for 2 Empower U. Our first show for this month features Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach sharing his thoughts and experiences about living a life that’s pleasing to God. He will be talking about the difference between adhering to the law and keeping the law of God.

 

Consider this statement:

“I can keep the law and that will make me pleasing to God.”

 

Do you think there is truth in this? Do you agree with this statement?

 

Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach will explain to you and provide examples about why the statement above is wrong. He will help you understand why you cannot claim to be Godly just because you said you promise to be good. 

 

What Happens When You Sin?

 

The pastor will give you an idea of what happens when you commit a sin. He will also explain to you the two crucial aspects that are present when you sin: sinful passions and the law. 

 

For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?”

                                    - Romans 7:19-24

 

Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach will help you understand the above verses taken from the Book of Romans. He’ll help you realize that God’s law is His word, and it is what you should keep in your heart and mind at all times – because it is what will bring you closer to Him.

 

“The law leads us to Jesus.”

             - Galatians 3:24

 

“The Law shows us that we have a problem inside. And the solution is Jesus Christ.”

                                    - Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach
