Why is the Law so important?
The Law was made for the purpose of showing people that they arent good and that they need a Savior.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. --Gal. 3:24
You see, we all can do good, and thats great! But, our good works will not negate the fact that we're law brakers and indepted to the Law.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.--1John 3:4
All have broken God's laws, and all are guilty!
What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.--Romans 7:7
If we realize that we've broken God's Laws, we'll have come to the understanding that we're guilty before a good and Holy God. We'll see that our good works cant save us, cause the good works wont take away the fact that we have already broken the laws. Well, what hope do we have of eternal life then?
Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses and to bring the entire world into judgment before God. For no one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what his law commands. For the more we know God's law, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying it.--Romans 3:19-20
Here's the truth (according to the Bible):
For God so loved us that he sent his Son [Jesus], to pay the price of the law breakers. We broke the Laws, and Jesus paid the fine. Now we may go free on the ground that our debt has been paid. If we come to Christ broken over our sin and trust in him, he will begin a change in us that will result in us becoming conformed into his image. Whats more, we'll have eternal life because of his righteousness and sacrifice. All this will be understood once a person sees themselves in light of God's Perfect Law.
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. --[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Psalm 19:7 [/font]
