Nor does the Gospel in any way whatever give man a hope that the claims of the law will be in any way loosened. Some imagine that under the old dispensation, God demanded great things of man — that He did bind upon man heavy burdens that
were grievous to be borne — and they suppose that Christ came into the world to put upon the shoulders of men a lighter law, something which it would be easier for them to obey — a law which they can more readily keep, or which, if they break, would not come upon them with such terrible threatenings. Ah, not so. The Gospel
came not into the world to soften down the law. Till heaven and earth shall pass away, not one jot and tittle of the law shall fail. What God has said to the sinner in the law, He says to the sinner in the Gospel. If He declares that "the soul that sinneth it shall die," the testimony of the Gospel is not contrary to the testimony of the law. If He declares that whosoever breaks the sacred law shall most assuredly be punished, the Gospel also demands blood for blood, and eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. It doth not relax a solitary jot or tittle of its demands but is as severe and as terribly just as even the law itself. Do you reply to this, that Christ has certainly softened down the law? I reply, that you know not, then, the mission of Christ. That is no softening of the law. It is, as it were, the grinding of the edge of the terrible sword of Divine justice, to make it sharper far than it seemed before. Christ has not put out the furnace; He rather seems to heat it seven times hotter. Before Christ came sin seemed unto me
to be but little; but when He came sin became exceedingly sinful, and all its dread heinousness started out before the light. #Outreach: That the world may know #Prayer Focus: Pray for Our Prodigals Praise the Lord Please follow my blog Guam Christian Blog Please follow my blog Guam Views Blog Podcast: https://anchor.fm/bruce-dinsman Bruce's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bruce.dinsman Featured book: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Service-4-Bruce-Dinsman-ebook/dp/B07W64BCD1
