Expediency

EXPEDIENCY.—Law in the form of commandment is a revelation or declaration of that course which is expedient. It is expediency revealed, as in the case of the Decalogue, and the same is true of every precept of the Bible; it reveals to us what is expedient. A revealed law or commandment is never to be set aside by our views of expediency. We may know with certainty that what is required is expedient. The command is the expressed judgment of God in the case, and reveals with unerring certainty the true path of expediency.—Rev. Chas. G. Finney.
