Day 11 -- The Law
Scripture Passage -- Deuteronomy 5:1-22 and Romans 8:1-4
God gave His law -- the ten commandments -- and when all was said and done, it could be summarized in two broad commands: to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our fellow humanity as ourselves. With the giving of these commands, God set his standard for righteousness -- a righteousness He knew man couldn't keep. The law was given, then, not to produce righteousness, but so that man could see His sin and His need for a Redeemer. It was all part of God's plan.
Key Verse -- Romans 8:2 -- "For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death."
Suggested Symbol -- the stone tablets
