Theocast
Is the Law Relevant Today?
June 8, 2022
Summary
In this third of three episodes on God's law, Jon and Justin talk about the threefold division of the law. This conversation is important for anyone who has ever wondered what to make of all the laws God gave to Israel in the Old Testament. What is binding for us today? What is not? What do some of these obscure sounding commands have to do with us in the new covenant era? In short, the confessional, Reformed understanding of the threefold division of the moral, ceremonial, and judicial law is very helpful for our understanding.

Hi, this is Jon, and today on Theocast, Justin and I continue our conversation about the law.
We've covered so far: law, gospel, distinction, three uses of the law.
And today we're going to have a discussion about the Bible and the law.
And is the law still relevant today?
Because sometimes we confuse things like judicial, civil, and moral law.
We're going to have a long discussion about the moral law.
And in Semper Reformanda, we're going to talk about the fourth command.
And does the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath fit as part of the moral law?
We hope this is edifying and that you learn to love and trust Christ more.
We'll see you soon.
