1Ti 1:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8 : Paul says, the law is good, if a man use it lawfully (1 Timothy 1:8 ). The law should not be used to divide the church or to make people think they can be saved by their own efforts. The real use of the law is to show us what sin is and to help keep people from doing wrong. Even though Christians are not saved by keeping the law, it still helps us understand what is right and wrong.
