The Purpose and Place of the Law (Romans 5:20)
Don Johnson, June 13, 2010
Part of the Romans series, preached at a Sun AM service
For the first time in Romans, Paul introduces the Law in a positive way, showing us one of the major purposes for the Law as an intermediary step between Adam and Christ. The Law comes in alongside sin in order to intensify the impact of 'the transgression' on everyone. In so doing, it also magnifies our understanding of the abundance of grace available through faith in Jesus Christ.
