How to Apply the Law in the Church

The sermon presents a comprehensive framework for understanding how the Old Testament law, particularly the Mosaic Covenant, applies to New Testament believers, emphasizing that the entire Mosaic system has been replaced by the New Covenant in Christ, not selectively abrogated. It argues against the traditional division of the law into moral, ceremonial, and civil categories. Through examples from the New Testament—especially the apostles' use of Old Testament laws in ethical, ecclesiastical, and doctrinal contexts—the sermon demonstrates that while the legal system has changed, the moral principles underlying the law remain relevant and are reapplied in the New Covenant. The law's purpose was to point to Christ and to instruct believers in holiness, justice, and love, with the Holy Spirit guiding the church in applying these timeless truths to new contexts, ensuring that all Scripture remains profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness.
