"NO ONE CHANGES GOD'S LAW"


NO ONE CHANGES GOD'S LAW

        By A. W. Tozer

        I delight to do thy will, 0 my God: yea,
        thy law is within my heart.       Psalm 40:8

            Because we live in a period known as the age of God's
        grace, it has become a popular thing to declare that the
        Ten Commandments are no longer valid, no longer
        relevant in our society.

            With that  context,  it  has  become  apparent  that
        Christian churches are not paying attention to the Ten
        Commandments.

            But  Dwight  L.  Moody  preached  often  in  the
        commandments.  John Wesley said he preached the
        commands of the Law to prepare the way for the gospel.
        R. A. Torrey told ministers if they did not preach the Law,
        they would have no response to the preaching of the
        gospel.  It is the Law that shows us our need for the gospel
        of salvation and forgiveness!

            It is accurate to say that our binding obligation is not to
        the Old Testament Law.  As sincere  Christians we are
        under Christ's higher law --- that which is represented in
        His  love  and  grace. But  everything  that  is  morally
        commanded in the Ten Commandments still comprises
        the moral  principles  that  are  the will  of God  for His
        people.  God's basic moral will for His people has not
        changed!
