What They Said

"The law showeth unto us our sins, and maketh known unto us our miserable estate and wretchedness, and how that there is nothing good in us, and that we are far off from all manner of righteousness, and so driveth us of necessity to seek righteousness in Christ."

“God’s law contains “wondrous things.” All the Divine works are wonderful. There is not a leaf which God has moulded, or an insect He has formed, or an atom He has made, which does not demand, and will not repay, our thoughtful study. But Revelation contains a brighter display of His wisdom and love than nature with all its sublime and glorious discoveries.”

"To attempt to study Scripture without studying its law is to deny it.  To attempt to understand Western civilization apart from the impact of Biblical law within it and upon it is to seek a fictitious history and to reject twenty centuries and their progress."

"Human laws are good to establish converse with man, but too short to establish communion with God; and  therefore we must consult with the rule which is the law of the Lord, that we may not come short of true blessedness."

“We find the same rules for our actions, the same duties required, the same sins forbidden in the Gospel as in the law.”

The Law by which God rules us, is as dear to Him as the Gospel by which He saves us."

"The Law, though it have no power to condemn us, hath power to command us."

"The Scripture is a rule outside of us—to show us where we must go; the Spirit is a guide inside of us—to enable us to walk according to the direction of that Word."

“Love is not a rule but a motive. Love does not tell me what to do; it tells me how to do it. Love constrains me to do the will of the beloved one; but to know what that will is I must go elsewhere. The Law of our God is the will of the beloved One, and were that expression of His will withdrawn, love would be utterly in the dark; it would not know what to do.”
