The Only Reason.—There is but one reason given in the New Testament why men will not and can not obey God’s law, and that reason is the carnal mind. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” Rom. 8: 7. But Christ “abolished in his flesh the enmity” (Eph. 2: 15), that he might abolish it in our flesh, that the keeping of God’s law might be a work of love (1 John 5: 3).
