Ques. What is the lawful use of the law that is spoken of in 1 Tim. 1:88But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; (1 Timothy 1:8)?
Ans. The lawful use of the law is that for which it was intended, as a rule for man
in the flesh. The result of the test of man under the law demonstrated that he could not keep it. The Christian is not under the law. To try to put him under it is not a lawful use of the law. Yet the Christian is to walk in the spirit of it and even far beyond it. (Matt. 5, etc.)
