In Defense of the Law

It seems like many Christians hold a very low view of the Old Testament law. That stands in contrast to the fact that the biblical writers, both Old Testament and New Testament, hold a very high view of the law.

In this week’s text the apostle Paul is going to argue in defense of the law of God and unpack for us the place of the law in the work of salvation.

We who love God and the Word of God should be thankful for the law because without it, we would never come to appreciate our true depravity nor the depth of grace we’ve been given in Christ Jesus.
