Even the law of God can be used unlawfullly.
The law was designed to put us all on the same playing field.

It is our safety net.
2. Revelation

The law shows us why we need salvation.
Romans 3:19-20
The law is to prove us lawless.
3. The law is to redirect.
We are not redeemed by the law, but the blood of Jesus.
The law is our lighthouse, our warning.

The best testament to understanding God's grace and the law is Paul's.
