Christians Dead To The Law

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

This chapter seems to be in the wrong place.

This words have become, as John McArthur, points out "a sort of an open door for all kinds of misdeeds and misbehavior. This statement, "You are not under law," has been ...read more
