Delight in God’s Law

Under the law is under its condemnation. We do not consider ourselves under a dear friend; nor do we exalt ourselves above him. He is our fellow, our companion, in whose communion we find sweet delight. So it is with God's law to the true Christian. Like Christ he will say, "I delight to do thy will, O my God; yea, thy law is within my heart." Like Paul he will say, "The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good." Like John he will say, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous." Brother, what do you say?
