For Who Was the 'Law´ Made?

1 Timothy 1:8-11, 'We know the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers – and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine.' What is the purpose of the law? I think the law is meant to help us know where we go wrong and how to live righteously. Those living righteously are not subject to the law because they are already doing what is required by the same law. For example, the law says, You shall not murder, you will only be subject to judgment if you commit the said transgression. When you believe in Christ, who came to die for sinners, you die to sin and are reborn anew in Him in righteousness. To strengthen our new resolve we need to learn more about Christ and live the example He gave us.
