THE GIVING OF THE LAW THE CROSS OF CALVARY
THE GIVING OF THE LAW THE CROSS OF CALVARY

The Law and the Gospel

By C. M. Snow

By C. M. Snow

Perfect Harmony

God's work is not self-destructive. Free salvation does not put a license on sin. Therefore the gospel does not abolish the law.
The law of God came into the world for a definite purpose—that man might know the character of God and the principles that underlie his government. There must be the utmost harmony between the character of God, the law of God, and those who are accounted worthy of eternal life. “We shall be like him,” says the apostle John, “for we shall see him as he is.” When the universe is freed from the disease of sin, there will be one unbroken harmony of life and character through all the realm of God.
The apostle says, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation;” sin made salvation necessary. “Sin is the transgression of the law.” That salvation which the gospel brings to light is salvation from sin and its consequences—death. The necessity of salvation proves the existence of sin; and the existence of sin proves the existence of the law, for “sin is the transgression of the law.”

The Law and the Gospel Must Stand or Fall Together

If, then, we assert the abolition of the law because of the existence of the gospel, we take away the very necessity for the existence of the gospel. If the law is abolished, there is no sin, for “sin is not imputed where there is no law.” If there is no sin, there is no need of salvation, no need of a Saviour, no need of a gospel. Take the law of God out of this world, and God could not condemn any man for any act he might do. There would be no sin then, for we cannot transgress a law that does not exist. There would be no salvation then, for we cannot be saved from a condition that does not exist. There would be no gospel then, for God will never proclaim the “good news” of a salvation for which there is no need.

The Existence of Sin Proves That the Moral Law Is Binding

The Word declares, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Again: “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” The Bible, in both the Old and the New Testament, recognizes the presence of sin in the earth. It must therefore recognize the existence of the law of which sin is the transgression. As the forgiveness of our sins depends upon the confession of our sins, and as the fact of our being sinners proves the existence of the law of God, we see at once that the forgiveness of our sins depends upon our recognition of the existence of the law of God.

A Perfect Law

If that law were abrogated by the death of Christ while we still live in him, then we should be driven to the conclusion that the trouble was with the law rather than with us who had broken it. It would mean that the law was imperfect or unjust, or both, and that the only way to get rid of it and save our lives was for Christ to be slain under its condemnation, that he might thereby, in some unexplainable way, remove the faulty code from the realm of God.

Christ Did Not Come to Abolish a Holy Law

But what is the word of Inspiration in reference thereto? “So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.” Rom. 7: 12, A. R. V. James calls it “the perfect law, the law of liberty.” James 1: 25. Did Christ come to the world to abolish that which was holy and righteous and good and perfect?—Nay, verily; for those are the very qualities of his own character. Because his character was in perfect harmony with that law, he was holy and righteous and good and perfect. The law of God being the expression of his character, God could not abolish it without abolishing his own attributes.
The conflict in heaven never was between righteousness and righteousness,—between perfection and perfection,—but between righteousness and unrighteousness, perfection and imperfection. So Christ says: “Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I come not to destroy, but to fulfill.” Matt. 5: 17. On the other hand, we read: “To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” If he abolished the law, the inevitable conclusion would be that the law was of iniquitous origin, a part of the works of the devil. Thus we see what dishonor it brings upon God to claim the abolition of his law through the mediatorial work of Christ. The devil had sinned and caused many other of the angels to sin. When the angels sinned, they transgressed the law of God. “For if God spared not angels when they sinned, . . . the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment.” 2 Peter 2: 4-9. For God to abolish the law which they transgressed would be to acknowledge that the law and the giver of the law were in the wrong, and Satan and all his angels were in the right. It would palliate the sin, excuse the sinner, and declare the law imperfect and unjust. Satan would indeed have come off victorious if that were done. It would be the proof of all his accusations against God and his government. As long as men are being judged righteous or unrighteous, worthy of eternal life or meriting eternal death, God cannot abolish the law, for that is his only standard of righteousness.

Christ a Commandment Keeper

Christ declares of himself: “I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.” John 15: 10. Because he did that, the Word calls him “Jesus Christ the righteous.” Again: “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” What is the test of holiness?—The law, there is no other. “Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” Matt. 5: 48. The standard of perfection is the law—“Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty.” Looking into that law, we see revealed the defects of our character. If we are faulty, it reflects our faults; if righteous, it witnesses to that righteousness.

The Law Points Out Our Sins

But that law, perfect as perfection itself, cannot confer perfection upon us. It can reveal it, or the lack of it, in us; but the very test of its perfection is that it can reveal our every imperfection. The remedy for our imperfection is not in the law, but in something outside of the law. It is found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We cannot be saved in our sins—but we can be saved. Jesus Christ was “manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.” Heb. 9: 26. “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1: 7.

Christ Takes Away Our Sins

That righteousness, that perfection in the eye of the law, comes to us through Christ; and the “good news” of that fact is the gospel of Jesus Christ. When there was no power in ourselves to keep us from sin, no power in us to save us from the consequences of sins already committed, no power in us to achieve righteousness by the deeds we might do, then came the gospel of Christ, “the power of God unto salvation.” Then came Christ, bearing “our sins in his own body on the tree;” “made . . . sin for us,” that he might pay the penalty of the broken law for us, and confer upon us an inheritance in the kingdom of righteousness.

The Law Fulfilled in Christ

Thus we see that there is no conflict between the law and the gospel. The one reveals sin, the other reveals the remedy. The one reveals the character of God, the other reveals the only arrangement whereby we can have bestowed upon us the likeness of that character. The one reveals heaven's rule of government, the other reveals the only arrangement God has made to counteract the effect of Satan's rebellion against that government. Thus do the two work together, and thus will they continue to work together until sin and all the results of sin have been eradicated from the universe. Then will the gospel cease, for salvation will have been completed; but the law will never cease. “The sum of thy word is truth; and every one of thy righteous ordinances endureth forever.” Ps. 119: 160.

A BIBLE STUDY

The Law of God

1. When God brought his people out of Egypt, how did he republish his law? “And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.” Deut. 4: 12, 13. See also Neh. 9: 13, 14.
2. Where are the ten commandments recorded? In Ex. 20: 2-17.
3. How comprehensive are these commandments? “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Eccl. 12: 13.
“THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.”—JESUS
“THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.”—JESUS
4. What inspired tribute is paid to the law of God? “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.” Ps. 19: 7, 8.
5. What blessing does the psalmist say attends the keeping of God’s commandments? “Moreover by them is thy servant warned; and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Verse 11.

Christ’s Teaching Concerning the Law

6. What did Christ state as a condition of entering into life? “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” Matt. 19: 17.
7. When Christ came to this earth, what was his attitude toward God’s will, or law? “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Ps. 40: 7, 8. See Heb. 10: 5, 7.
8. Who did he say would enter the kingdom of heaven? “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” Matt. 7: 21.
9. What did he say of those who should break one of God’s commandments, or should teach men to do so? “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 5: 19, first part.
10. Who did he say would be called great in the kingdom? “But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom.” Same verse, last part.
11. For what did Christ reprove the Pharisees? “But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?” Matt. 15: 3.
12. In consequence of this, what value did Christ place upon their worship? “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.” Verse 9.

The Apostles’ Teaching

13. What is sin declared to be? “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” 1 John 3: 4.
14. By what is the knowledge of sin? “For by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Rom. 3: 20. See Rom. 7: 7.
15. How many of the commandments is it necessary to break in order to become a transgressor of the law? “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.” James 2: 10, 11. NOTE.—This shows that the ten commandments are a complete whole, and together constitute but one law. Like a chain of ten links, all are inseparably connected. If one link is broken, the chain is broken.
16. What will be the standard in the judgment? “So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.” Verse 12.
17. How do those with renewed hearts and minds regard the commandments of God? “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.” 1 John 5: 3.
18. What is said of one who professes to know the Lord, but does not keep his commandments? “He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2: 4.
19. What promise is made to the willing and obedient? “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” Isa. 1: 19.

The Testimony of the Psalmist

20. What is said of those who love God’s law? “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Ps. 119: 165.
21. What is another blessing attending the keeping of God’s commandments? “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments.” Ps. 111: 10.
22. In what does the man delight whom the psalmist describes as blessed? “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” Ps. 1: 1, 2. See Rom. 7: 22.

The Perpetuity of the Law

23. What is said of the stability of God’s character? “For I am the Lord, I change not.” Mal. 3: 6.
24. How enduring are his commandments? “The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.” Ps. 111: 7, 8.
25. Did Christ come to abolish or to destroy the law? “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Matt. 5: 17. NOTE.—“The moral law contained in the ten commandments, and enforced by the prophets, did not take its design from the gospel. It was not the design of Christ’s coming to revoke any part of this. . . . Every part of the law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages, as not depending either on time or place, or any other circumstance liable to change, but on the nature of God, and the nature of man, and their unchangeable relation to each other.”—John Wesley, in his “Sermons,” Vol. I, No. 25, pages 221, 222.
*26. When used with reference to prophecy, what does the word fulfill mean?* To fill up; to accomplish; to bring to pass; as, “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet.” Matt. 4: 14.
27. What does it mean when used with reference to law? To perform, to keep, or to act in accordance with; as, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” Gal. 6: 2. See also Matt. 3: 15; James 2: 8, 9.
28. How did Christ treat his Father’s commandments? “I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.” John 15: 10.

The Relation of Faith to Commandment Keeping

29. Does faith in God make void the law? “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.” Rom. 3: 31.
30. What, more than all else, proves the perpetuity and immutability of the law of God? “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3: 16. “Christ died for our sins.” 1 Cor. 15: 3. NOTE.—Could the law have been abolished, and thus been disposed of in this way, Christ need not have come and died for our sins. The gift of Christ, therefore, more than all else, proves the immutability of the law of God. Christ must come and die, and satisfy the claims of the law, or the world must perish. The law could not give way. Says Spurgeon in his sermon on “The Perpetuity of the Law of God,” “Our Lord Jesus Christ gave a greater vindication of the law by giving himself because it had been broken, than all the lost can ever give by their miseries.” The fact that the law is to be the standard in the judgment is another proof of its enduring nature. See Eccl. 12: 13, 14; James 2: 8-12.
31. What relation does a justified person sustain to the law? “For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Rom. 2: 13.
32. By what may we know that we have passed from death unto life? “We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren.” 1 John 3: 14.
33. And how may we know that we love the brethren? “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.” 1 John 5: 2.
34. What is the love of God? “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.” Verse 3.
35. How are those described who will be prepared for the coming of Christ? “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev. 14: 12.

The Moral and Ceremonial Laws

36. By whom was the ten-commandment law proclaimed? “And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice. And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.” Deut. 4: 12, 13.
37. How was the ceremonial law made known to Israel? “And the Lord called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. . . . This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings; which the Lord commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.” Lev. 1: 1, 2; 7: 37, 38.
38. Were the ten commandments a distinct and complete law by themselves? “These words the Lord spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.” Deut. 5: 22. “And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written.” Ex. 24: 12.
39. Was the ceremonial law a complete law in itself? “The law of commandments contained in ordinances.” Eph. 2: 15.
40. On what did God write the ten commandments? “And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.” Deut. 4: 13.
41. In what were the laws or commandments respecting sacrifices and burnt offerings written? “And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses.” 2 Chron. 35: 12.
42. Where were the ten commandments placed? “And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark.” Ex. 40: 20.
43. Where did Moses command the Levites to put the book of the law which he had written? “Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God.” Deut. 31: 25, 26.
44. What is the nature of the moral law? “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Ps. 19: 7. “For we know that the law is spiritual.” Rom. 7: 14.
45. Could the offerings commanded by the ceremonial law satisfy or make perfect the conscience of the believer? “Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience.” Heb. 9: 9.

The Ceremonial Law Abolished by Christ

46. How did Christ’s death affect the ceremonial law? “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.” Col. 2: 14. “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances.” Eph. 2: 15.
47. Why was the ceremonial law taken away? “For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.” Heb. 7: 18, 19, R. V.
48. What miraculous event occurred at the death of Christ signifying that the sacrificial system was forever at an end? “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” Matt. 27: 50, 51.
49. In what words had the prophet Daniel foretold this? “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” Dan. 9: 27.
50. How enduring is the moral law? “Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them forever.” Ps. 119: 152.

The Relation of the Law to the Gospel

51. What is one of the uses of the law? “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” Rom. 3: 20.
52. In thus making known sin, and the consequent need of a Saviour, what part does the law act? “Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” Gal. 3: 24.
53. What is the gospel declared to be? “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Rom. 1: 16.
54. What is the significance of the name bestowed by the angel upon the Saviour before his birth? “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matt. 1: 21.
55. In whom is this power to save from sin revealed? “But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” 1 Cor. 1: 23, 24.
56. What was foretold concerning Christ’s attitude toward the law of God? “Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.” Ps. 40: 7, 8.

Faith and the Law

57. Does the faith which brings righteousness abolish the law? “Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.” Rom. 3: 31. NOTE.—The law reveals the perfection of character required, and so gives a knowledge of sin; but it is powerless to confer the character demanded. In the gospel, the law, first written in the heart of Christ, becomes “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,” and is thus transferred to the heart of the believer, in whose heart Christ dwells by faith. Thus the new-covenant promise is fulfilled that the law shall be written in the heart. This is the genuine experience of righteousness by faith,—a righteousness which is expressed by the law, and revealed in the life in harmony with the law. The gospel is thus seen to be the provision for restoring the law to its place in the heart and life of the one who believes on Christ and accepts his mediatorial work. Such faith, instead of making void the law, establishes it in the heart of the believer. The gospel is not against the law, therefore, but upholds, maintains, and presents the law to us in Christ.
58. What did Christ take away when he died upon the cross? “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1: 29.
59. What has Christ abolished by his death and resurrection? “But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” 2 Tim. 1: 10.
60. What scripture shows that God’s remnant people will have a right conception of the proper relation between the law of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ? “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Rev. 14: 12. ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧

THE TWO LAWS CONTRASTED

THE MORAL LAW

Is called the “royal law.” James 2:8.
Was spoken by God. Deut. 4:12, 13.
Was written by God on tables of stone. Ex. 24:12.
Was written “with the finger of God.” Ex. 31:18.
Was placed in the ark. Ex. 40:20; 1 Kings 8:9; Heb. 9:4.
Is “perfect.” Ps. 19:7.
Is to “stand fast forever.” Ps. 111:7, 8.
Was not destroyed by Christ. Matt. 5:17.
Was to be magnified by Christ. Isa. 52:21.
Gives knowledge of sin. Rom. 3:20; 7:7.

THE CEREMONIAL LAW

Is called “the law . . . contained in ordinances.” Eph. 2:15.
Was spoken by Moses. Lev. 1:1-3.
Was “the handwriting of ordinances.” Col. 2:14.
Was written by Moses in a book. 2 Chron. 35:12.
Was placed in the side of the ark. Deut. 31:24-26.
“Made nothing perfect.” Heb. 7:19.
Was nailed to the cross. Col. 2:14.
Was abolished by Christ. Eph. 2:15.
Was taken out of the way by Christ. Col. 2:14.
Was instituted in consequence of sin. Leviticus 3-7.

The Law of God

I Thou shalt have no other gods before me
II Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
III Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
IV Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
V Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
VI Thou shalt not kill.
VII Thou shalt not commit adultery.
VIII Thou shalt not steal.
IX Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
X Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man servant, nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

The Witness of the Law and the Prophets

The Jewish Scriptures to which Christ appealed consisted of the law and the prophets. Both bore witness to him as the Messiah. Both prepared his way. Both were fulfilled by him.
The moral law revealed the disease for which he brought the remedy. Its precepts were designed to convince of sin. On the other hand, the ceremonial law was suited to typify the remedy for sin. It contained a shadow of the “good things” of the gospel. It pictured the way of salvation.
What the ceremonial law obscurely typified, the prophets more plainly predicted. Both pointed to the coming Messiah. The daily sacrifices of the one and the successive utterances of the other, pointed to “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
The fulfillment of the moral law, the ceremonial law, and the prophets, in the character and work of Christ, is a threefold cord of evidence which cannot be broken. He, and he alone, perfectly fulfilled the precepts of the moral law. He, and he alone, fulfilled the types of the ceremonial law. He, and he alone, fulfilled the predictions of the prophets. By his fulfillment of the moral law he became a law. He translated its written precepts into living deeds. With his death the ceremonial system came to an end.—“Creation Centered in Christ,” H. Grattan Guinness, D. D., London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1896, pages 31, 32.
