The Lawful Use of God’s Law Part 1

Oct 22, 2000    Dr. Jack Hughes    First Timothy

What is the lawful use of the law? What is the purpose of the Law? What is the relationship of the Law to sound doctrine, and the gospel? Are Christians to live without law, as a lawless group of self-guided independents? Christians have struggled with this subject since the church was born. On one extreme there are those who don’t believe any of the Old Testament, or the gospels, apply to us because those are writings came from the Old Testament era before Christ died. In this sermon, Pastor Jack teaches us three very important concepts about the law that the false teachers didn’t understand, but which we do need to understand: the lawful use of God’s law, the purpose for God’s Law, and the relationship between sound teaching and the Law.
