You Need to Love the Law

You realize if you don't love God's Law - his commandments - his rules - you're in rebellion, right? (Read Psalm 119.)

You've probably heard that you need to preach the gospel to yourself daily. This is true.

But there is no Good News without the Law showing us what we're saved from. And to, for that matter (obedience to the Law - Romans 8:1-4; Hebrews 8, etc).

So, preach the Law to yourself daily. Tear yourself to shreds with it. Feel the pain of your rebellion against your Maker.

Then run to Jesus.

  1. Nice post!

    "Tear yourself to shreds with it!" (the law)

    I like it!

    The law will do it's job on us. We preach it hard (not watered down)and it will kill us.

    But that sweet Word of forgiveness sets us free and raises us to new life!
