Fulfilled, Not Forgotten: Discovering God's Heart Through the Law

Why Study the Law If We Are Under Grace?
Many Christians avoid the Old Testament Law because they rightly understand that we are not saved by keeping it. Others read the Law only as a list of rules that no longer apply. Yet Scripture presents a different picture. The Law remains valuable—not as a means of justification, but as a revelation of the heart and character of God.

The psalmist declares, "Oh how I love your law!" (Psalm 119:97). David was not celebrating legalism. He was delighting in what the Law revealed about the God who gave it.
