The Necessity of Divine Law
Galatians 3:12
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them.


Under whatever relation we consider God to stand to us we must feel that He has a law by which He governs us all. Is He a King? There must be royal decrees. Is He a Master? There must be appointed service. Is He a Judge? The very name implies a tribunal. Is He a Redeemer? The redemption must be in accordance with the principles of righteousness. Is He a Father? The home over which He presides must be a scene of harmonious action.

(S. Pearson, M. A.)
