What is our view of the Law of God?
• We believe that the Law of God stands forever (Ps. 111:7, 8). • That it leads us to see our guilt and drives us to Jesus (Rom 3:20). • That it is an agent in leading us to conversion (Ps. 19:7). • That it gives a great reward to those to keep it (Ps. 19:11). • That we are not “under the law” as a means of salvation, but rather salvation comes totally by grace (Rom. 6:14; Eph. 2:8). • That we don’t have the liberty to break the law (Rom 6:15; Gal. 5:13). • That sin is defined as breaking it and leads to separation from God (1 John 3:4; Isa. 59:1, 2). • When we are saved by faith we desire to keep God’s Law (Heb. 10:7; John 8:29). • Love for God leads us to obey His Laws (John 14:15). • That a sign of those who love God is their obedience to His law (John 14:21). • Those who keep not His commandments are liars and the truth is not in them (1 John 2:4, 5). • That we are to hide His Words in our hearts to prevent us from sinning (Ps. 119:11). • The new covenant is based on the old law wr
