The Pupose of the Law<\/b><\/p>\n
Evangelist Fred Brown used three images to describe the purpose of the law. First he likened it to a dentist\u2019s little mirror, which he sticks into the patient\u2019s mouth. With the mirror he can detect any cavities. But he doesn\u2019t drill with it or use it to pull teeth. It can show him the decayed area or other abnormality, but it can\u2019t provide the solution<\/p>\n
Brown then drew another analogy. He said that the law is also like a flashlight. If suddenly at night the lights go out, you use it to guide you down the darkened basement stairs to the electrical box. When you point it toward the fuses, it helps you see the one that is burned out. But after you\u2019ve removed the bad fuse, you don\u2019t try to insert the flashlight in its place. You put in a new fuse to restore the electricity. <\/p>\n
In his third image, Brown likened the law to a plumbline. When a builder wants to check his work, he uses a weighted string to see if it\u2019s true to the vertical. But if he finds that he has made a mistake, he doesn\u2019t use the plumbline to correct it. He gets out his hammer and saw. The law points out the problem of sin; it doesn\u2019t provide a solution.<\/p>\n
