God's Word in Two Words



"A high view of the law produces a high view of grace. A low view of the law produces a low view of grace. God's good law reveals our desperation; God's good gospel reveals our deliverer....The overwhelming focus of the Bible is not the work of the redeemed but the work of the Redeemer."  Tullian Tchividjian

Read the whole article: God's Word in Two Words | Christianity 

"Cheap law weakens God's demand for perfection, and in doing so, breathes life into the old creature and his quest for a righteousness of his own making. . . . Cheap law tells us that we've fallen, but there's good news, you can get back up again. . . . Therein lies the great heresy of cheap law: it is a false gospel. And it cheapens—no—it nullifies grace." John Dink

"Sin is not canceled by lawful living, for no person is able to live up to the Law. Nothing can take away sin except the grace of God." Martin Luther

"A low view of the law always produces legalism; a high view of the law makes a person a seeker after grace." Gresham Machen

"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Romans 10:4
