The Law Cannot Save From Sin

The Power of God at Work in us

Brethren,

How are you doing? Welcome to the month of June.

We continue with our quarter series on The Power of God at Work in us. This time, we consider a matter which is a stumbling block for both believers and unbelievers – the usefulness of obeying the law regarding salvation. We shall be considering this matter under the topic The Law Cannot Save From Sin.

Key Learning points are:

1. The law cannot save because the binding characteristics of the law puts one who relies on the law under the strongest possible obligation to adhere to it 100% 
2. The reality of humans is that we are utterly depraved and lost. And the law, as good as it is, is neither able to produce righteousness in us, nor the desire to pursue what is right in the sight of God.
3. The Law was never given to save or to sanctify. Rather it was given to reveal our sinfulness and condemnation, and to drive us to Christ.
