“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” To many Christians who feel compelled to emphasize our freedom from the law, these words of Jesus seem strange, even incompatible with the gospel of grace. If Jesus did not abolish the law, then what opinion should we have today about the Ten Commandments? Clowney explains how Jesus reinforces the law and expands its scope to every situation in life. However, he goes further and finds Christ in the law and shows how he fulfills it for his people. In this way, believers will learn not only from the character of God revealed in the law, but also from the Christ-centered gospel.
This book, divided into eleven chapters, with questions for reflection and application, is a perfect resource for group study and individual growth.
