This topic teaches that sanctification is Christ Himself, not a process of self-effort or law-keeping.

This topic contrasts serving in the newness of the Spirit with the oldness of the law's letter.

Believers are led out of legalism into confident sonship and inheritance.

This topic explains that reckoning ourselves dead to sin and alive to God is a conscious agreement with God's Word, not a mystical experience.
