What's the purpose of God's laws?

And how did He come up with these laws - especially the ones that we don't like or don't understand?

In Galatians 3, the Apostle Paul explains the purpose of God's laws (and tells us why they are a good and necessary thing). He reminds us that these laws A) teach us, B) they restrain our sinfulness, and C) they conform us in Christ's image.

We'll consider these things and more in today's study.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) Can salvation come through "lawkeeping?"

B) In what way was the OT law a "tutor" (as Paul says in Verse 24)?

C) Do we still need to keep the civil and ceremonial laws of the OT?

Speaker: Rev. Dr. Toby B. Holt
