This sermon addresses the important question of does the law have any inherent or ongoing value in the life of a Christian? The answer is an emphatic yes!
Firstly, the law provides a minimum standard required to be righteous and the punishment for not meeting this. A standard none of us have met. Thus, our only, and certain hope as Christians is in the perfect life of Jesus Christ, of which the Holy Spirit graciously joins us to. Therefore, for every Christian, from conversion and ongoing the law reminds us of the majestic love and grace of Jesus Christ.
Secondly, the law gives us wisdom to grow as Christians. Although, we are no longer bound by the law, Gods commands remain profitable. So, through the Holy Spirits work in our lives, the law serves to remind us of ways in which we can still become more Christ like.
Lord, help the law to continue bringing us to Christ as saviour, and giving us the wisdom to grow as Christians.
