The Use of the Law
Galatians 3:24
Why the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.


A minister says, When I was a boy I ploughed a field with a team of spirited horses. I ploughed it very quickly, Once in a while I passed over some of the sod without turning it, but I did not jerk back the plough with its rattling devices. I thought it made no difference. After awhile, my father came along, and said: "Why, this will never do; this isn't ploughed deep enough; there, you have missed this and you have missed that." And he ploughed it over again. The difficulty with a great many people is that they are only scratched with conviction when the subsoil plough of God's truth ought to be put in up to the beam.
