It is absolutely true that the law does not save us,
but it is also absolutely true that we will not be saved by breaking
it. Jesus said, “If you
love me, keep my commandments”
(John 14:15).

purpose of Grace?” “What is the purpose of the Law?” “And how do they
work together for our salvation?” Let us find out together.
