The Preaching and Teaching of God’s Law (1)

Q 31: Who is charged with preaching God’s Law to nonbelievers?

A 31: All those who have been redeemed are called to be witnesses for Christ and to proclaim His Law to the nations by word and deed. (Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:18-20; Matt. 5:13-19; Mic. 4:1-5)

Q 32: Is the Law then part of the Gospel?

A 32: The Law is part of the Gospel in that people must acknowledge their sin unto repentance before they can believe the Gospel, and by the Law is the knowledge of sin. (Acts 2:29-38; Rom. 7:7)

Q 33: How are nonbelievers convicted of sin under the preaching of the Law?

A 33: The Spirit of God convicts those He has chosen to save, so that they turn from their sins and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. (Jn. 16:8-11; Jn. 1:12)
