DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [3 of 4] The problem isn’t the Old Testament Law. What was the purpose of God’s law? As Paul says in Romans, the law is holy and righteous because it came from God. However, the reason the law can become a curse is because we humans decide to take it on, even though we are doomed to fail at that. And that's what we need to own up to. So, why did God still put the law out there? The Apostle Paul says this: "The law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Our inability to keep the law, even just the Ten Commandments, should drive
us to the commonsense conclusion that we need a savior. It should tell us we need help from God, because we cannot achieve an eternity spent with Him by our own actions—so, that fact drives us to humble ourselves and accept Christ’s offer of help. We're not to attempt getting ourselves justified by trying to live a perfect life like Christ did, because then we would not need Jesus. Besides, a sinless life is not possible for any person other than Christ. Instead, we are justified by our faith in Him, which is from His justification through being completely innocence under the law, while also taking on death at the cross for God’s glory and our salvation. Jesus was actually able to keep the law, so we must rely on Him taking 
our place as condemned sinners. We must have faith in Him. 
Then we receive God’s pardon. That is God’s law. | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,cult | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
