The Law

Here is something i read about the law this week in a book called "God's Big Picture"


The Law reveals our sin, ...no-one will be declared righteous in God's sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin' (Rom 3:20)

The law reveals our savior. ...we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ' (Gal. 3:23-24). The laws role was to prepare us for Christ. It convicts us of our sin and helps us to see our need of Jesus, the Savior. Although he always obeyed the law, he faced the punishment for law-breaking in the place of others, Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. (Gal 3:13)

The law reveals God's Standards ....The law not only points us to our sin and our savior, it also tells us how God wants us to live. Jesus commands his followers to obey its demands (Matt 5:17-20) Whenever possible , we should work for the application of God's standards in the public realm too: in the workplace at college, and in society at large.


Just something extra to chew on
