Understanding Sin Before, During, and After the Period of the Law

Sin is one of the most important subjects in Scripture, yet it is often discussed without carefully considering the different periods of biblical history. In Understanding Sin Before, During, and After the Period of the Law, Sam Royalty examines the subject of sin across three important periods: before the Law of Moses, during the Law, and after the establishment of the New Covenant through Jesus Christ. Through careful examination of Scripture, this book helps readers understand how sin was regarded before the Law was given, what changed when the Law entered, and what the finished work of Christ means for believers today. It addresses the purpose of the Law, the knowledge of sin, condemnation, grace, righteousness, forgiveness, and the believer's position in Christ. Rather than treating every biblical statement about sin as though it were spoken under the same covenant and circumstances, this study encourages readers to recognize the progression of God's dealings with humanity and to interpret Scripture within its proper biblical context. Written for Christians, Bible students, teachers, pastors, and anyone seeking a clearer understanding of sin and the Law, this book offers a Scripture-centered examination of a subject that directly affects how believers understand salvation, grace, righteousness, and their relationship with God.
