The use of the Law

....the law is good if a man use it lawfully. 1 Timothy 1:8

"The first of all lawful use of the law 
---is to bring people to Christ, 
---that they may be justified by faith. 
That is the object of it,—to give the knowledge of sin, and to bring people to Christ, that they may be justified by faith. 
He who uses the law of God first for any other purpose than to bring men to Christ that they may be justified by faith, he who uses the law of God to sinners who have not yet received Christ for any other purpose than to bring these men to Christ that they may be justified by faith, makes an unlawful use of the law."
