In this excerpt, Thomas Schreiner explains why the law, apart from the Spirit, cannot give life but instead brings death.

He highlights that while some in Israel were truly regenerate, the majority were not, and therefore the law only exposed and condemned their sin. Drawing from Paul’s teaching, Schreiner emphasizes that the law without the regenerating work of the Spirit leads to death, while the Spirit alone gives life. This distinction is essential for understanding the relationship between the Old Testament, regeneration, and the new covenant.
