Kapau ‘oku ‘ikai
lava ‘e ha taha ke tauhi ‘a e Laó, ko e hā leva hono ‘aonga?
( Since no one can
keep the law, what is its purpose? )
Ko e ‘uhí ke tau ‘ilo ‘a e natula ma‘oni‘oni mo e
finangalo ‘o e ‘Otuá, pea mo e natula angahala‘ia mo talangata‘a ‘a hotau
lotó; mo ‘etau fiema‘u ha Fakamo‘uí. ‘Oku ako‘i mo faka‘ai‘ai kitautolu ‘e he
laó ke tau fai ‘a e to‘onga mo‘ui ‘oku
hoifua ki ai ‘a hotau Fakamo‘uí.
( That we may know
the holy nature and will of God, and the sinful nature and disobedience of our
hearts; and thus our need of a Savior. The law also teaches and exhorts us to live
a life worthy of our Savior )
Loma 3:20
Koe‘uhiā ko e me‘a ki he ngaahi ngāue fakalao, ‘e tu‘u
mola ai ‘a e kakano kotoa pē ‘i hono ‘ao, ‘o ‘ikai hanau fakatonuhia mei ai: he
ko e me‘a ‘oku fou mei he Lao, ko e faka‘ilo angahala pē.
ROMANS 3:20
For by works of
the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes
knowledge of sin.
Commentary - LIGON DUNCAN (cont…)
When God originally gave his commands to
Adam and Eve in the garden, he gave those commands to them as blessings. They weren't
things upon which his love was contingent. He loved them and blessed them in
the garden. And their obedience to the commands was the very sphere in which
they enjoyed that blessedness. And when we are saved by Christ, when we are
united to Christ, we are able to walk in a manner that is worthy of the gospel.
We are to live in a manner that is like the Lord Jesus Christ. And he delighted
in obeying God. And so the law of God shows us what that life of peace and
blessedness is like. It shows us what it's like to live a life worthy of the
gospel once we've trusted in Jesus Christ.
