| Publisher Description: In the majority of churches in America today, the doctrine of Grace is taught almost exclusively as the dominant characteristic of Christianity. The knowledge and the necessity of obeying the Law is downplayed and even ignored in many cases. And while it is absolutely true that we are saved by grace through faith and not by works, it is also fundamentally true that we are saved for good works - and all our good works are simply the results that proceed from our following and obeying the laws and commands of God. In other words, we are not saved by works; but once we are saved, we are now enabled to obey the law (which we could not do on our own before our salvation came), and we now love to obey His commands. As in the other classes, our first goal is to define the fundamental views of Biblical law, and contrast them with the ideas of the opposing worldviews. We will also look at the history of law in America in order to understand how and where our system became compromised. Once we understand the cause of the cracks in the wall, we can then see clearly where the foundations need repair, both in our own homes and then in the society around us. |
