stating failure in one point makes one guilty of all. Citing John 19:30, he says “It is finished” means the law ended at Jesus’ death, and uses Hebrews 9 to argue the New Testament (a “will/testament”) begins at death, not Jesus’ birth. He shares that preaching the law is harmful because “the power/strength of sin is the law” (1 Cor. 15:56) and the law increases trespass, while the new covenant brings transformation, not behavior modification. He shares that justification is by faith apart from the law (Acts 13:39; Rom. 3:28; Gal. 2:16; 3:11), warns reliance on law brings a curse, critiques manmade rules (Col. 2:20–23), and that the Bible calls the Ten Commandments a “ministry of death” and “condemnation” (2 Cor. 3), concluding freedom from sin comes apart from the law (Rom. 7:8).00:00 Why Jesus’ Death Matters00:29 You Can’t Keep the Law02:49 It Is Finished Explained03:42 When the New Testament Starts08:13 Law Fuels Sin12:52 New Covenant Begins at Death15:59 Single Offering or Sin16:30 Old Mindset vs Grace17:45 Adam vs Jesus20:52 Living from the Finish Line22:01 Sin Erased22:25 No More Sin Consciousness24:30 Law Fuels Sin25:14 Justified By Faith26:52 Curse Of Lawkeeping29:13 Preach Good News30:55 Manmade Church Rules35:09 Law As Condemnation37:50 Religion Treadmill Trap41:07 Freedom Apart From LawConnect with Me!Daily Devotional https://www.summitonline.church/devotionalWebsitehttps://www.summitonline.churchInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/draljenningsOnline Bible Study Coursehttps://www.summitonline.church/foundationLeave Me a Tiphttps://livingbygrace.captivate.fm/support

Pastor Al teaches that Jesus’ death and resurrection are one package and shares that many churches still mix the old and new covenants by urging believers to keep the Ten Commandments, despite the full law totaling 613 commands and James 2:10 stating failure in one point makes one guilty of all. Citing John 19:30, he says “It is finished” means the law ended at Jesus’ death, and uses Hebrews 9 to argue the New Testament (a “will/testament”) begins at death, not Jesus’ birth.
