Why the Law of God? (LD 44; Phil. 3:12-16)

We are a people who will always struggle in sin on this side of glory. One would think that we would never want to hear about the Lord's holiness. This is something that would potentially discourage us from pressing forward in the Christian life. However, we are exhorted in Paul's writings to keep pushing forward. The law of God is a good, it is the Lord's righteous standard, and so we lay out why the Lord's law is something that we should continually hear and be exhorted to conform to the Lord as we walk in Christ.

Why Move Forward? (Philippians 3:12-16 (LD 44)

We conclude the teaching on the law of God from the catechism.  The tenth commandment is that we are not to desire anything that goes against the law of the Lord.  So, we know that we are not to desire something contrary to God, but we do which is why we sin.  How do we move beyond sin?  Do we conform to the Lord because it is better to conform to Him rather than not conforming to Him?
