Meditations on 1 Timothy
“We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. We also know that the 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 the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers - and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God which He entrusted to me.” I Timothy 1:8-11, NIV God’s law IS good. It is good simply because it comes from God. All things which God created and all things that come from Him are good. Even from the beginning of time, when God created the world, this truth is evidenced through Genesis 1:31, “And God saw all that He had made and it was very good.” Why then, does Paul say, “we know that the law is good if one uses it properly.” First, remember who etched the 10 Commandments on the initial set of stone tablets? The answer, of course, is God.
