The Law is Good

8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

When I read this, I thought back to the fact that Christ came down from heaven not to heal the healthy, but the sick. Even though this is in the context of preaching the truth verses false doctrine, Paul explains that the law is for us from God. Sinners need God's commands. Why? Because we are simply aimless without it. We will lead ourselves/each other to our demise without having any rules or limitations in our lives. God provides theses laws and commands us to follow them because He cares and loves us.

For whatever reason, verse 11 is confusing me. And for everything else that opposes God will and ultimately for those sinners who has been given to us by God to lead?

Amen.
