denying the continued validity ofthe Ten Commandments,thus unwittingly helping the
attempt to overthrow Gods law.

Christ, the Law and the Gospel1. The Law and Sin
Romans 7:7-12 NKJVIS THE law sin? I would not have
known sin except through the law.
And the commandmentI found tobring death. For sin, taking occasion
by the commandmentkilled me.Therefore the law is holy, and thecommandment is holy and just
and good.

1. The Law and SinIs the Law Sin?
THE ANSWER, of course, is that itsnot; on the contrary, at the end ofthe section he says, Therefore thelaw is holy, and the commandment
holy and just and good(NKJV).
Far from being sin, the law is indeedholy and good; it reflects Gods
loving character.

1. The Law and SinIs the Law Sin?
Something is criminal only if a lawdepicts it as such. You might go to
jail in one country for doing
something that in another country islegal. The reason: one country has a
law forbidding that action, the otherdoesnt. It is the same action butwith two different consequences.
What makes the difference? The law.

2. The Law and the NationsThe Law and Israel
JUST BEFORE He gave the law toMoses, God reminded His people
that they are a kingdom of priests
and a holy nation(Exod. 19:6).Israel was to be a partner with God
in the mission of universalevangelism, and Gods law was to bethe identifying mark for Gods
spokespersons.

2. The Law and the NationsThe Law and Israel
Israel would be the people throughwhom the nations of the earth
received the blessings promised to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.As a chosen nation, Israel was
expected to walk in harmony withthe Lords will. Israel as a nationfailed to live up to the covenant
conditions.

2. The Law and the NationsOther Nations
God did not leave the people inother nations without a witness.Those who were not privileged to
receive Gods written revelationreceived divine messages through
the pages of natural revelation(Rom. 1:20). Gods book of naturecontains enough information to
direct a person to Him.

2. The Law and the NationsOther Nations
God has also instilled a measure ofspiritual desire in every humanbeing. Those who sense Gods
indwelling Spirit will engage in aquest to find Him (Acts 17:27).
So many people sense an emptinessin their lives that nothing this worldoffersfame, power, money, sex
can ultimately fulfill.

2. The Law and the NationsOther Nations
This emptiness, this dissatisfaction,often leads people in a quest for
something beyond, for somethingthat transcends everyday existence.
They are drawn to revealed truth in
a desire to quell the longings andemptiness of their souls.

2. The Law and the NationsOther Nations
Ultimately, everyone will be judged,and the standard of judgment will
be law:either the law God revealed through
Moses, or the law of conscience,
which has been developed bylistening to Gods voice in nature.

written, The just shall live by faith.

3. The Law and the GospelGrace and Truth
UNLIKE THE first Adam, who broughtcondemnation and falsehood into the
world, Jesus brought in grace and
truth.Grace and truth did notsupplant the law. Jesus showed,
instead, why the law alone was notenough to procure salvation.The truth that He brought was a
more complete understanding of

3. The Law and the GospelGrace and Truth
Grace manifests itself as the indwell-ing presence of Christ that enablesthe individual to participate in the
righteousness that the law promotes.
Grace not only frees us from the
condemnation of the law, but itenables us to keep the law in the way
that we are called to do.

The good news is that we who havebeen trapped in bodies of
unrighteousness can be covered with
the righteousness of Christ.And the heart of that gospel is the
great promise that in the end, deathwill not have the final say and thatthose saved by Jesus will live forever
in a new earth.

It is wholly a free gift.Faith and Works 19
