Has your yearly reading plan ever died in Leviticus? No one likes to read rule books and manuals. Some of these laws seem seriously archaic and irrelevant. Let's take a closer look at why the law is in our bibles. It is actually a large section of scripture that goes through several books. We also are going to look at NT scripture and what Jesus said about the law. Finally, how did Paul guide us to use the law for relationships and not for legalism?
Scripture References:
Jesus says that He fulfills the law: Matthew 5:17
Matthew 22- Jesus comments on the law and gives the “great commandment”
