ONE of the strangest developments in the professed Christian church is antinomianism, a belief that God's law is abolished, repealed, annulled. All this is in direct contradiction to our Lord's statements repeated again and again, regarding the object of His mission, the purpose of His coming, in fact the entire remedial scheme of the gospel. He came not to destroy the law, but to establish it. Matt. 5:17-20. He declares that "it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail." Luke 16:17. He was called Jesus, because He would "save His people from their sins," and "sin is the transgression of the law." Matt. 1:21; 1 John 3:4; Rom. 7:7. He redeems "from all iniquity"—lawlessness—those who trust Him. Titus 2:14. Paul declares that faith in Christ establishes the law, in the heart of him, of course, who exercises the faith. Rom. 3:31. This is not a tithe of the evidence which might be adduced to show that the mission of Christ was loyalty to the government of God, and was designed to make men obedient subjects to the law of God. Otherwise were treason. There is but one thing that sets men against the law of God's government. That is not grace or forgiveness, or a new dispensation, or loyalty to Christ. It is the carnal mind; that is the whole secret. "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. The secret, friend, lies just there—in the carnal mind. Are you opposed to God's law in any part or parcel? Yield to the law, and let the carnal mind die. Christ will give you a new heart, a new life, which loves the law of God, and makes His commandments a delight.
