Israel
boasted of all “we will do”
Exodus 19:8 all we will do
Exodus 24:3 all we will do
Exodus 24:7 all we will do
So God gave them the law, something to do that they
could not do
I
The Law is Spiritual
Romans 7:14 spiritual because of its
source
Romans 7:12 holy, just, good
1 Timothy 1:8 good if used for its
intended purpose
II
The Law is
Dispensational
Galatians 3:19
Beginning: added 430 years after
Abraham; Abraham had not the law
Purpose: because of
transgression; to manifest sin as transgression
1 Timothy 1:9 if people were not bad, there would be no need of law
The End: "till the Seed
should come"
Romans 10:4 end of the law
John 1:17 from Moses to Christ
Romans 6:14 not under law, under
grace
Acts 15:10 an unbearable yoke
Galatians 3:24 “was” not “is”
III
The law is National
Romans 2:14 Gentiles have not the
law
Romans 9:4 given to Israel; to
"SAVED" people, not "to save" people
IV
The Law is Obligational
Galatians 5:3 debtor to the whole law
James 2:10 keep the whole law
Romans 3:19 law proves all men
guilty
V
The Law is
Demonstrational
Romans 3:20 by the law is the
knowledge of sin
I Timothy 1:9 demonstrates how bad people are
VI
The Law is Revelational
Romans 4:15 no law, no
transgression; a sign “keep off grass” makes trespass transgression
Romans 5:13 sin is always morally
wrong; law makes it legally wrong
VII
The Law is Operational
Romans 7:5-7 it stirs up sin within
VIII
The Law is Incapable
Romans 8:3 because of the weakness
of the flesh the law could not work
Romans 3:20,28
the law
cannot justify
Romans 3:21 the law cannot give life
IX
Conclude: what ever are
we going to do without the law?
Romans 8:4 fulfilled in us, not by
us
Galatians 5:18 led of the Spirit, not
under the law
Titus 2:11-14
We
have One living in us that is better than the external
law
Galatians 2:20 Christ liveth in me
1 Corinthians 9:20,21 under the law to Christ—the law of love
