Like the errant newspapers of today, the religious leaders in Israel had not only made mistakes – they had intentionally misinterpreted the facts about the true meaning of the Law in order to justify themselves before God.

It affirms God’s holy and perfect standard of righteousness based on the Law!
It confronts us with our inability and utter failure to keep the Law!
It leads us to receive the finished work of Christ as the only means of righteousness!
It provides insight into the life of a Spirit-filled, Spirit-empowered, Spirit-led believer!
