56c — Purpose of the Old Testament Law
Why Did God Give the Old Testament Law? —

My Prayer
Dearest Father, Your purposes are so amazing! Your plans are so immense — yet so simple! Thank you for your all-consuming desire to bring people’s hearts back to you — and for revealing your strategy to accomplish this one step at a time. Thank you for the role of the Old Testament Law in this great plan of yours. Your ways are truly amazing! Amen.
