What Is the Law, and What Is Its Purpose?
<p>The law is God’s perfect standard of obedience and holiness as described in the commands, statutes, and ordinances given to those who would worship and serve Him. The very first “law” was given in the Garden of Eden when God told Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:16-17). God’s commands are His laws.</p>
