- God creates > which points to Jesus
- Man fails - sins > we need righteousness - which point to Jesus
- God gives the Law, which exposes how we've failed and need Him > we need righteousness -which point to Jesus
- Israel rides the roller coaster of obedience to God's Law, inability to be faithful > we need righteousness - which points to Jesus
- Prophets tell of one who would bridge the gap between Law and God > we need righteousness - which points to Jesus
- Jesus comes and teaches on how to live as a citizen of this Kingdom with lots of expectations > we need righteousness - which points to Jesus
- Jesus suffers and dies and rises from the dead, the Law is fulfilled in Him > righteousness given - which points to Jesus
- The church age comes and we realize that Law was God's grace exposing our need of Him, Christ came and met that need showing God's grace
- Eternity awaits for the righteous not by works but for the righteous through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ
The law sends us to Jesus to be justified, because it shows us our inability to please God in ourselves. But after we come to Jesus, He sends us back to the law to learn the heart of God's desire for our conduct and sanctification. After we are sanctified we are sent to be glorified because of His righteousness.
