measures our behavior. When compared to Gods perfect standard, we dont measure up. Thats why we need a Savior. The law also acts as an instructor. These rules showed the Israelites how to live before a holy God. (See Lev 19:2.) Gods law also set Israel apart from pagan nations. With Gods law as instructor, there was no grading on the curve. Think of the law as training wheels. Training wheels help a beginning bike rider to stay upright until he or she gets the hang of riding. The law shows you how to walk uprightly before a holy God. The law pointed the people of the Old Testament toward a coming Savior, who would fulfill the law and set his people free. We dont need to wait until the Savior comes. He has come already and has written his law on our hearts. (See Rom 2:15.)
