Bible Question: If the law is incapable of saving people, as Paul argued, what is the law's purpose? Romans 7:7-13:1 |
Bible Answer: The law is supposed to bring us, as it were, to the end of our rope. So that we know that there is nothing that we can do, no matter how hard we try, that will gain us salvation. We are all condemned in God's eyes! Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; The law shows us that we are helpless apart for God’s intervention through the finish work of His So Jesus Christ. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. No one, of the seed of Adam, is able to keep the law because of their old sin nature which is mans weakness. Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. The word schoolmaster was translated from the Koine Greek word PAIDAGOGOS, which was a servant tutor whose function it was to teach underlings of the master the proper ways and start them in the right direction. Ephes. 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Have a great day, CDBJ |
