#6 Amazing Law

Amazing Grace Series

December 10, 2017 • Mike Matijevich

The Law is AMAZING…
According to Jewish Tradition.. 3 Systems of Law delivered to the Jews:
1. Judicial- civil policy 603 laws (governed conduct between men, offenses & penalties)
2. Ceremonial- a) dietary b) sacrifices - determined ecclesiastical polity
3. Moral- basically 10 commandments (total 613 commandments)

* Jesus reduced them in 1 word- LOVE (This brings us to Christ:
1. By convicting us of our sin- guilt
2. By revealing our peril- hell
3. By its weakness through the flesh to save from death.
Note: When we are saved Jesus writes the LAW in our hearts.
Today's message to you- Why God uses the Law:
* For Old Testament Jews the Law was the ONLY way to relate to God until Jesus showed up.

* John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Four Purposes of the Law for us today:
1. The Law is a MASTER. Galatians 3:24-25
2. The Law is a MIRROR. James 1:23-25
3. The Law is a MAP. Psalm 119:105
4. The Law is a Measure. Matthew 5:5
