Law and Lawlessness
There is a great deal of confusion in the minds of many Christians when it comes to God’s expectations and the role of the law in the life of the Christian. Perhaps, you have wrestled with some of these questions:
- Was the law “nailed to the cross?”
- Does “grace” eliminate the need for the law?
- Are there different standards for Jew and Gentile?
- Are the ten commandments still valid, but the statutes are not?
- Was Paul’s attitude in opposition to the teachings of James and other new covenant writers in regards to the law?
- What is the unified message that the scriptures present concerning the law of God?
- How should we understand the concepts of torah in the Hebrew scriptures and nomos in the Greek scriptures?
- And how will this vital knowledge transform our hearts and minds?
Let the scriptures speak for themselves, so you can know God’s mind on these matters!
Psalm 19
The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold,
