  • How is the word “law” used in scripture?
  • Not-but statements: Mark 9:37; John 6:27; I Peter 3:3-4; I John 3:18
    • E.W. Bullinger, Figures of Speech Used In the Bible: “The Hebrew has no degrees of comparison in the Adjective: hence other methods are adopted to express them. In the New Testament, while the language is Greek, the thoughts and idioms are Hebrew; so that the Hebrew methods of comparison are frequently adopted” (p. 526).
  • I Timothy 1:8-11 – The law is especially needed by sinners. We have to be careful to not adopt the opposite mentality and avoid teaching people who need the gospel the most.
  • I Timothy 1:13 – It is not okay to continue in ignorance and unbelief! Ignorance is not a strategy for salvation!
  • I Timothy 1:15 – See I Timothy 1:9; I John 1:5-8. We have all sinned. We should not be in a state of continual sin, though.
