Faith and Works Pt. 3

Derek Prince emphasises the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit rather than relying on our own understanding or adherence to rules. He references Galatians 5:18, stating that being led by the Spirit frees us from the law, highlighting that true righteousness comes through faith, not rule-keeping. Many Christians live in a state of confusion, caught between grace and legalism, which can lead to division within the body of Christ. Prince warns that while following church rules can be beneficial, it does not equate to righteousness before God.

He further explores the implications of relying on the law, citing Romans 7:4-5, where Paul explains that through Christ's death, believers are freed from the law to bear fruit for God. Prince notes that the law can stir up sinful passions, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:56, and asserts that the essence of sin is the refusal to depend on God. He encourages believers to recognise their need for God's grace, especially in moments of self-reliance, and to embrace a life of faith that acknowledges their dependence on Him.
