I'd like to gain a better understanding of the role of the law in the lives of believers.
In churches today, at least the ones I've attended, there's not much said about the law, other than that we're not under the law now, but under grace. I can't remember the 10 commandments ever even being listed in a sermon, let alone expounded upon.
Does anybody know of any good online articles or sermons that discuss the law? I think ideally I'm looking for something that has as a starting point a discussion of verses that are commonly used to show that we are not under law but under grace, how/why these verses don't say what is commonly thought, and then discusses the proper use and purpose of the law.
In addition to the articles or sermons, for those who may have come from a similar background, were there particular verses or passages that caught your attention that God used to show you that the law was more than just an OT set of rules for the people of Israel?
