One reason to preach the law: The law was given by God to expose and increase sin in man. Itforces man to see how utterly sinful he is and how far he has fallen short of the perfect standards of God.
This will bring him to his knees as he acknowledges his sinfullness, his inability to meet God's perfect standards and thus his need for grace, for the Savior. The law thus brings one to Christ.
Study Galations 3:24: If you preach the law for this reason, the reason for which it was given, fine and good. Just make sure that you over-balance it with grace, for grace is the more glorious ministry. Study 2 Cor. 3:9
But once a man has come to faith in Christ, he is no longer under the law but under grace. He is no longer under the tutor, but has become a son. He is no longer married to Mr. Law, but is married to grace, the person of Jesus. He is dead to the law because of Christ, who is the end of the law. Study Gal. 3:24-26 and Romans 7:4. Romans 10:4.
Therefore the law should not be preached to the Christian, unless it is to help him appreciate grace and to understand the difference between grace and law., the old covenant and the new covenants, flesh and Spirit, works and faith, Hagar and Sarah, Ishmael and Isaac, Mount Sinai and Mount Zion, death and life, etc.
