HEROES of the Faith Speak - THE LAW

[herald]

Martin Luther - "The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and show the nature of sin, because it will act as a schoolmaster and bring him to everlasting life which is in Jesus christ."

John Wesley - "Before I preach love, mercy, and grace, I must preach sin, law, and judgment."

Wesley later told a friend to "Preach 90 percent law, and 10 percent grace."

Charles Spurgeon - "They will never accept grace until they tremble before a just and holy law."

Charles Finney - "Evermore the law must prepare the way for the gospel; to overlook this in instructing souls is almost certain to result in false hope, the introduction of a false standard of christian expereince, and to fill the church with false converts."

John wycliffe - "The highest service  to which a man may attain on earth is to preach the law of God."

D.L. Moody - "God, being a perfect God, had to give a perfect law, and the law was given not to save men, but to measure them."

         Hello herald.Welcome to this Forum.I think
      we are still supposed to be following it too.

AMEN!!! Herald,

How right you are.  Psalm 19:7 states, "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul."  How does someone know they need medicine (grace) unless they know they have a disease (law).  I'm so happy to hear someone who knows the proper distinction between law and gospel.

        We are going to blow it though.That's
   what Sin is(breaking God's Law),but we are
   not under the penalty of the Law(Thankfully),
   but I still think we are still supposed to follow
   the Law.Only 1 has followed without fault....
   that is Yeshua.

Amen curious,

There has only been one that is fully capable to follow the law. All others are miserable in their attempts to do so. God understood this and this is the reason that He gave us a way to deal with our weaknesses, His grace.
