Highways are a microcosm of a world characterized by danger. While highway signs and traffic lights never say please, they are vital to obey. With no apologies for their demands, they don't consider what you feel like doing. Like God's laws, they guide and keep you safe. Thus, we need a grasp of God's law-it is a blueprint for our life. If we don't understand God's law, we can't know what it means to obey or rebel against it. While God's law appears simple; it's truly broad, deep, and complex. Read on to see how God's law reveals the character of its author, as well as His concept of justice, and how to live a good life. Understanding the purpose and value of God's law only occurs as we see the link between God's law and the gospel. The good news for struggling sinners is that we no longer need to obey God's law to attain God's acceptance. Obedience to divine law is an apt response by those who have already received salvation as a gift by faith in Jesus. Only when we learn God's law is inflexible will we see how the gospel of God's grace is indispensable.
