Sermon Overview
Reidhead argues that the Law and the Prophets are the "Two Witnesses" to the character of God and the need for a Savior. He shows how the Law "shuts man up to faith" by exposing sin, while the Prophets provide the "Promise" of a coming New Covenant where the Law would be fulfilled by the Spirit.
Key Principles
Holiness Standard: Use the "Law" as the unchanging "standard" of God’s holiness to see your need for Grace.
Voice of Repentance:Listen to the "Prophets" as they call you back to a heart-deep relationship with God.
Christ as Fulfillment:See every Old Testament "type and shadow" as a finger pointing directly to the Person of Jesus.
Unity of Mission:Treat the whole Bible (Genesis to Revelation) as a single "Missionary Book" with one goal.
Outer to Inner: Move from following "outer rules" to walking in the "inner life" of the Spirit-filled Law.
Spirit of Prophecy: Use the "Testimony of Jesus" as your primary lens for understanding every prophetic Word.
Continuity of Plan: Trust in the "historical continuity" of God’s plan; realize He has never changed His methods.
