"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Ten Commandments are no longer valid, no longer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!
