Deuteronomy is the heart of the Old Testament, with its words throughout the New Testament, providing a foundation of doctrine and an outline for entering God's Kingdom.

God promises to write His Law on our hearts and minds. When we experience the consequences of our or others' sins, we learn the depth of how bad sin is.

No part of God's Law has been 'done away'. Jesus came to magnify the law, giving it a far more penetrating, spiritual application. Man flounders without law.

Some think Galatians 3:19 means that God's law has been done away, but critical misunderstandings have led people astray on this verse.

The keeping of the law is a practical response to God, providing us with principles for our lives, establishing our character and implanting God's values.

Even though keeping the law does not justify us, it does point out to us what sin is. The law is a guide keeping us within moral and ethical boundaries.

Under both the Old and New Covenants, refusal to keep to keep God's Law severs the relationship. God's law protects us and brings us quality life.

Justification is not the end of the salvation process, but merely the opening to sanctification, where we bear fruit and give evidence of God's Spirit in us.

II Thessalonians 2 speaks about a force restraining the man of sin, the lawless man. Such a leader cannot rise and dominate in a law-abiding culture.

Keeping God's Law brings bountiful blessings, harmony, and profound peace (Psalm 119:165), while the 'cheap' grace brings guilt, anxiety, and pain.

We don't really know something unless we have experienced it. Knowing God manifests itself in the way one lives, reflecting faithfulness and obedience.

Christ's third warning in the Sermon on the Mount is to beware of hypocrisy, professing to do things in Jesus' name but habitually practicing lawlessness.

People can mentally 'legalize their iniquities,' in doing so attempting to make God the accomplice of their sins. But He will not overlook blatant faults.

The responsibility given to the church Christ has called out of this world is to expand His teachings, magnifying them and making them clear and honorable.
