Law Sermon Illustrations

In the Old Testament, God gave the Israelites the Law, amidst flames and thunder and a terrifying, terrible voice. In the midst of that, the people understood that God was serious about His commandments!

In the New Testament, Jesus had much to say about the Law as well. In some cases He reminded people of what the law said, in other cases He even added to it.

Fortunately, for those of us in Christ, the law no longer carries the sting of death and judgment for us!
