Is There a Time Limit on God's Law?

This sign didn't seem odd to me at first. Then I realized that trespassing should not be permitted at any hour.

That made me think about time limits and the law, especially God's law.

Has the time of God's law expired? You would think so, the way many preach about it. 

But in spite of what many say today, the Bible says that the law is perfect. It doesn't need to change. What needs to change is us. 

"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Matt 5:17

That is the whole point of salvation and sanctification. God sets the terms of our relationship, that is called the law.  When we could not meet those terms, He did not lower His standards, but He did make a way for us to meet them, that is called grace. 

"Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Romans 3:31

Grace saves us, but what are we saved from? We are saved from the consequences that come from violating the law. The law is what we fall short of, what condemns us and from whose consequences we need to be saved. 

While the law cannot save a soul, it provides a standard that the grace of God will gradually conform us to. God's grace and faith save us. But grace and faith eventually conform us to the law of God, not by eliminating the law but by making a change in us.  The change that comes from God makes us holy, and without that change, we are in big trouble. God makes it a requirement of any relationship with him. Hebrews 12"14 says that we must have "...holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord"
