“But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,” 1 Timothy 1:8
It seems to me, that the Church of today has missed this verse; not because it uses the Law unlawfully, but because it doesn’t use it at all! What comes to mind when I read this Verse is what Paul said to the Romans, “through the Law comes the knowledge of sin”. Since Jesus came to Save Sinners from Sin, and that the Law (used lawfully) is how the Sinner’s Sin is revealed, is it any surprise that we don’t hear about Repentance either? The Gospel of today is nothing more than a Panacea of how “Jesus can be to us” what is missing in our life. It is true, that He is Everything that we will need! But until He Saves us from our SINS and becomes our LORD and MASTER, He can be none of those things!!!
