*Students will determine to trust on Christ for their righteousness instead of a legal code.

=Introduction=
Bring some copies of a regulatory book to class. If you have a library nearby you might pick up a copy of the FAR/AIM, the FAA list of regulations. The idea here is that the book should be thick and include lots of rules.

*What are some examples of rules?

*Take a look at this book, what do you notice?

*Why do we have so many rules?

+*What does Galatians 3:23-25 teach about the purpose of the law?
 **The law served as a tutor.  Specifically, the word tutor in Galatians 3:23-25 was used of a slave who functioned as the family tutor.  The idea here is that a child would study under the slave.  When the child matured, the child then became the master.  The law served to teach the Jews how to serve God.  However, when Christ came, the entire balance changes and the law no longer serves in this function.  This does not mean the lessons the law gives are no longer applicable, but instead that the regulatory, supervisory nature of the law has changed.

-Bahsen claims that any denial of the applicability of the moral law to society today brings the risk of reducing our stance to cultural relativism in ethics.   He does, however, recognize that the digital age is significantly different than the agrarian society of the Old Testament.  Ultimately Bahsen claims that “some discontinuities with the mosaic law (or laws) are redemptive-historical in character and pertain to the coming of the new covenant and the finished work of Christ, while others are cultural in character and pertain to simple changed of time place or lifestyle <ref>Bahnsen, Five Views on Law and Gospel., 103<ref>.”   Bahsen also views some aspects of the law as existing for the purpose of distinguishing Israel as God’s people.  These laws, hence, serve not a moral function, but a symbolic function.

 In the unfolding of history through dispensations we have seen that in innocence man fell, despite having a conscience man sinned, even human government could not stop the evil, God called Abraham but he and his descendants failed to remain in the promised land.  In very possible way so far we have sen that man is totally depraved.  Now, we address another question, "perhaps if man was told explicitly what God wanted, man would be able to be holy."  This is the dispensation of law, we will see that despite being told explicitly what God wanted, the heart of man is deceitful above all (Jeremiah 17:9).
