The sermon teaches that because Christians have died and been raised with Christ, they must not return to the slavery of human regulations and counterfeit spirituality from which Christ has freed them.

The writer of Hebrews makes a statement here that we MUST think about carefully. He says that Jesus "entered the Most Holy Place once for all…" that is a profoundly important idea.

True obedience flows from redeemed hearts, and the Spirit enables the church to live as God's obedient people.
