What is the purpose of God’s law, and how does it lead us to the gospel? In 1 Timothy 1:8–11, the Apostle Paul explains that the law is good when it is used rightly—to expose the destructive nature of sin and point sinners to salvation in Christ.

In this sermon from the Know the Church series, we examine how false teachers misunderstand the law, why Scripture names sin honestly, and how conviction is meant to drive us toward grace, not despair. The law reveals the seriousness of sin, but the gospel reveals the hope of redemption.
