By Salim Cyrus

Overview

This masterclass by Salim Cyrus traces the biblical movement from the Old Covenant to the New, demonstrating how the Law served as a preparatory shadow fulfilled entirely in Jesus Christ. It guides believers out of performance-based religion and into the freedom of living from Christ's finished work and the internal transformation of the Holy Spirit.

Central thesis

The Law was designed not as a permanent system of righteousness through human effort, but as a temporary shadow fulfilled entirely in Jesus Christ, who grants believers immediate justification and empowers them to live from His finished work through the Holy Spirit.
