The Purpose of the Law
Johnathan Armstrong - November 29, 2025
The law of God was never intended to justify or save anyone; justification comes only through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Its true purpose is to define sin, reveal the righteous character and mind of God, and show the way of life that leads to lasting happiness and eternal life in His family. Far from being a burden, the law is an expression of God’s love; keeping it through the power of the Holy Spirit produces the outgoing concern that fulfills the law and transforms believers into the likeness of Christ.
