The Law and the Church

Summary

Elder Neal Phelan Jr. preaches on the role and purpose of the law in the New Testament church, emphasizing the distinction between the ceremonial and moral law. He explains that while the law is good if used lawfully, it cannot make a person righteous or grant spiritual life, as salvation comes through Christ's fulfillment of the law. The law serves to reveal sin, guide conscience, and lead believers to Christ, but believers are not under the law's condemnation because of grace. The sermon addresses common misunderstandings and stresses the importance of rightly dividing the word of God regarding the law's place in Christian life.
