The Living Law

Pacific Press Publishing Association · Mountain View, California · Jan 23, 1912

Does this number seem to be strong in law and duty? It is; so was the life of our Lord. He was the living law, the living Word, the Word Incarnate. He died to save from sin, the transgression of that law. He lives to save to righteousness, to loving obedience to that law. In Him is life and healing and hope and joy. Through the law His Spirit reveals to us our sin, that we may long for His righteousness. He reveals to us our misery, that we may by faith receive His mercy. He shows that we are dying creatures, that we may appropriate His life and love for all God's precepts.
