The Law and the Gospel

THE law and the gospel may be compared to a threaded needle. One can not sew without the needle, neither can he do that work without the thread. The two combined make a perfect implement of labor. A person can not be saved unless his conscience is awakened and aroused by the prick of the law, and then justified and forgiven by the gospel. As the needle prepares the way for the work of the thread, so the law convicts the sinner, while the gospel provides a remedy for the sin. ELIZA H. MORTON.
