This blog is about what we are teaching in the adult Bible class and Sundays at Six at Gregory Drive Alliance Church of Chatham, Ontario. We have a passion for the Word of God as it reveals God. It is our desire that everyone in the class will be students of the Word.

The Law and the Gospel
In the book, Keep In Step With The Spirit, J. I. Packer says the following:
"To be sure, the Christian keeps the law nonlegalistically, from life rather than for life, not for gain but out of gratitude. He obeys God not as a sinner trying to win salvation, but as a son of God rejoicing in the gift of salvation that is already him. He never forgets, however, that like Paul he is 'not free from God's law but ... under Christ's law."
