PHIL.1:6-12

LAW,

 

    WHAT DO WE MEAN BY LAW?

 

       MORAL

 

       CIVIL

 

       CEREMONIAL

 

    WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW?

 

 

   MORAL

 

       IMPUTE SIN, ROMANS 3:20, 5:13

 

       ENSURES SAFE CONDUCT, GAL. 4:1-7

 

      ELIMINATES EVIL CONDUCT, I TIM.1:8-11

       EDUCATES AS TO GOD’S CHARACTER

 

 

     CIVIL,

 

 

    CEREMONIAL

 

       POINTS TO THE ATONEMENT OF JESUS, HEBREWS 10:1; COL.2:17

 

       TAKES THE TRANSCENDANT TRUTHS OF THE LAW AND SALVATION AND PUTS THEM IN EARTHLY TERMS

 

       PUTS HEAVENLY TRUTHS AT ARMS LENGTH

 

 

  GOSPEL

 

    JUDICIALLY

 

   CEREMONIALLY

 

    MORALLY

 

 

 WHAT IS THE IMPROPER USE OF THE LAW?

 

    HARD CORE LEGALISM

 

    HARD HEADED LEGALISM

 

    HARD HEARTED LEGALISM

 

 WHAT DOES THE GOSPEL DO?

 

    FREES ME TO FOLLOW AND OBEY IN LOVE

LOOKING FORWARD TO CELEBRATING OUR GREAT GOD WITH YOU TOMORROW!
