  5. Why God Gave His Law • To remind us of our sinfulness and our need for the Savior. We have “trespassed” or “transgressed” against God. (The Law is a MIRROR) • To teach us how we can serve God in thankfulness after we have come to believe in Jesus and are free to serve Him. (The Law is a GUIDE)
