Purpose Of The Law

Gal. 3:19-25

After the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, man came under the control of sin. God saw that the wickedness of man was so great in the earth and the earth was corrupt and filled with violence (Gen. 6:5,11). God then decided to put down laws that would reveal to man what God requires of man. The laws were formally documented or revealed when the children of Israel were delivered from their bondage in the land of Egypt through Moses. The cardinal ones are referred to as “The Ten Commandments”. The laws were meant to show man the things that are unacceptable to God, and which man must strive to avoid if he wants to be in the good books of God. It was a short term measure to keep man under guard until a permanent solution would be given for man’s sin problem. The law was given to make man realise he cannot please God by his own effort.

Point of Emphasis:   Law was given to keep man under guard until a permanent solution would be given for man’s sinful nature.

Prayer Point:             Father, grant me the grace to depend on Your strength rather than on mine, in my strife to please You.
