The Ten Commandments 20:1-17
Summary of the Law-Jesus replied: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:37-39
Why was the law given To provide a standard of righteousness- Deuteronomy 4:2,8 It was as schoolmaster-Galatians 3:19-24 To expose and identify sin-Romans 3:20 To reveal the holiness and power of God Deuteronomy 4:32-36
How does the law affect us? For what the Law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but live according to the Spirit. Romans 8:3-4
