The Gospel #6 - God's Law and How It Fits

Salvation by grace can make obedience seem unnecessary. If Christ's work saves instead of ours, following God's law may appear pointless. God's promise to Abraham came before the law given to Moses, so that later law cannot replace the promise or become a way of salvation. Instead, the law exposes sin, restrains wrongdoing, and leads helpless sinners to Christ. Once Christ brings forgiveness and acceptance, God's law guides people in pleasing their loving Father, with obedience flowing from gratitude and joy rather than fear of rejection.
