Week 30: Friday Discipleship

  • Psalm 19:7-11

    The law of the Lord is perfect,
        reviving the soul;
    the testimony of the Lord is sure,
        making wise the simple;
    the precepts of the Lord are right,
        rejoicing the heart;
    the commandment of the Lord is pure,
        enlightening the eyes;
    the fear of the Lord is clean,
        enduring forever;
    the rules of the Lord are true,
        and righteous altogether.
    More to be desired are they than gold,
        even much fine gold;
    sweeter also than honey
        and drippings of the honeycomb.
    Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
        in keeping them there is great reward.

  • Romans 3:19-24

    Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

  • Question: Does God’s law cause us to sin?

    Answer: No. The law is holy and good; it exposes our sin and drives us to trust Christ, who alone can save us.

  • Romans 7:12 (ESV)
    “So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.”
