Grace vs Law

In Grace vs. Law, Derek addresses achieving righteousness before God, contrasting legalism with faith. Legalism, the church’s primary problem, relies on rules, fostering self-righteousness and division, but cannot justify or please God. Rules define evil but don’t make people good. True righteousness comes from faith, a gift of grace, not works. Believers must stop striving and be led by the Holy Spirit, who interprets and applies God’s Word, never contradicting it. Grace and law are mutually exclusive; faith, guided by the Spirit, aligns with God’s Word, focusing on heart issues like meekness and mercy, not mere rule-following.
