Using the Law Lawfully

The law of God defines for us what obedience to God is. The law is good if one uses it lawfully our text says. Grace will permit us to keep God’s commandments and so we want to come this afternoon to see and to understand how the law of God relates to all men. Here in these verses the apostle Paul has given us 3 categories of people who need to understand how the law relates to them. The 1st Category is the righteous person. The 2nd Category is the lawless person. And the 3rd Category is those who would preach and share the gospel. May the Lord enable us through this study to better understand the difference between law and grace; but also to see how they complement each other in God’s plan for us becoming holy men and women of God.
