I Ain’t Movin’ I Ain’t Stoppin’ God’s Law God’s Love

Rom. 8:3-4 ~ 3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. MSV ~ The law couldn’t give us a right standing before God because, being mere men, we were too weak. Therefore, God sent His Son, also as a Man, to obey the requirements set forth in the law on our behalf. This appropriation is made available to all who exchange their fallen, human condition for an exalted spiritual one (i.e. become “born again.”)

1 Pet. 2:23 ~ who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously;

A. W. Tozer ~ “There is today an evangelical rationalism which says that the truth is in the Word and if you want to know truth, go learn the Word. If you get the Word, you have the truth. That is the evangelical rationalism that we have in fundamentalist circles: ‘If you learn the text you've got the truth.’

“This evangelical rationalist wears our uniform. He comes in wearing our uniform and says what the Pharisees said: "Well, truth is truth and if you believe the truth you've got it." Such see no beyond and no mystic depth, no mysterious or divine. They see only, ‘I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord.’

“They have the text and the code and the creed, and to them that is the truth. So they pass it on to others. The result is we are dying spiritually. To know the Truth, we must "know" the Son.”
