We must disagree sharply with those liberal theologians— whether Catholic, Jew, or Protestant— who hold that our contemporary society is evolving to a "new morality" based on "love" for others rather than on the fixed, absolute, objective standards of righteousness set out in the Ten Commandments.Law and Gospel
It is important to emphasize the fact that it was written on Adam's heart from the beginning. Thus we have one standard of righteousness from Creation to the final consummation.Law & Gospel
if people were punished or rebuked for sin before Sinai, that implies that laws must have been in place, because "where there is no law there is no sin."Law & Gospel
Neither John Calvin nor Francis Turretin nor any other respected theologians, creeds, or confessions ever set up an antithesis between Christ and Moses, the law and the gospel, law and grace. The antinomians, however, envision a conflict between each of these pairs, along with a sharp antithesis between the Old and New Testaments.Law & Gospel
The cross makes no sense apart from the law. The cross with out the law is like a jig-saw puzzle with the key piece missing. The evangelical prophet Isaiah said, "He [Christ] will magnify the law and make it honorable" (Isa. 42: 21). Christ magnified the law by His perfect life and in His death on the cross.Law and Gospel
The moral law carries permanent validity because it is an objective standard uniquely sanctioned by God and goes straight to the root of our modern problems. It lays its finger on the church's deepest need in evangelism as well as in the Christian life: sanctification. The Ten Commandments are desperately needed not only in the church but also in societyLaw and Gospel
