God's Perfected Family
I'd like to say I grew up in a perfect family, and I’d like to hear my children say they did too…and mean it. In what ways could your family have done better?

He even uses family matters to clarify difficult doctrinal things, like the relationship between the law and grace. After all, “a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law” (2:16, NLT). So, what place does God’s law have in our lives?
