LAW of GOD | 上帝的律法 |
Christ abolished the law as a means of justification
not by destroying it but by fulfilling it. Martin Luther 基督廢除律法作為稱義的器皿,不是藉著毀壞律法,而是藉著完成律法。 |

reveal sin, not to remove it. John MacArthur 上帝的律法是用來彰顯罪,而不是除掉罪。 |

Calvary, but no farther. Charles Haddon Spurgeon 律法只能把人趕到加略山,就僅此而已,不能多做些甚麼。 |
The law sends us to the gospel, that we may be
justified, and the gospel sends us to the law again to enquire what is our duty, being
justified. Samuel Bolton 律法把我們送去福音那邊,好讓我們能夠稱義,福音又再次送我們到律法面前,好叫我們知道自己的職責,就是得著稱義。 |
The law is a hammer to break
us, the gospel God's oil to cure us. Stephen Charnock 律法是破碎我們的鐵鎚,福音則是上帝醫治我們的膏油。 |
When the law of God is written in our hearts, our
duty will be our delight. Matthew Henry 當神的律法寫在我們的心上時,我們將樂於遵從當行的職責。 |
The divine law, as seen by
the Christian, exhibits liberty, gives liberty, is liberty. Paul Eldridge 就基督徒看來,神聖律法彰顯自由、給予自由、就是自由。 |
Law says 'Do', grace says 'Done'. John Henry Jowett 律法說:「做」,恩典說:「做好了」。 |
God is love, and law is the
way he loves us. But it is also true that God is law, and love is the way he rules
us. G. S. Lee 上帝是愛,律法就是祂愛我們的途徑。然而,上帝無庸質疑的也是律法,而愛就是他管理我們的途徑。 |
People make excuses for no keeping the law of God,
which is proof how deeply they believe in the law. C. S. Lewis 人們想盡藉口不遵守上帝律法,而這正好證明他們多麼相信律法。 |
The law discovers the
disease. The gospel gives the remedy. Martin Luther 律法揭發疾病。福音給予良藥。 |
The law is what we must do; the gospel is what God
will give. Martin Luther 律法是我們該做的事;福音則是上帝賜予的。 |
The giving of the law is
part of the dispensation of the covenant of grace. Donald MacLeod 律法是上帝賜人恩典之約的一部份。 |
The law demands what it cannot give; grace gives all
it demands. Blaise Pascal 律法要求它所無法提供的;恩典提供一切它所要求的。 |
Christ has redeemed his
people from the curse of the law and not from the command of it; he has saved them from
the wrath of God, but not from his government. A. W. Pink 基督救贖祂的百姓脫離律法的咒詛而不是脫離律法的命令;基督拯救我們脫離上帝的憤怒,但並不脫離祂的治理。 |
There was grace under law and there is a law under
grace. Charles Caldwell Ryrie 恩典在律法之下,而律法亦在恩典之下。 |

faith, preaches the cross, never opposes the preaching of the law. W. G. T. Shedd 真實且正確宣講十字架的人,絕不會反對宣講律法。 |

gospel. C. H. Spurgeon 律法的針必須在前引導福音的線。 |
The law is a court of
justice, but the gospel is a throne of grace. George Swinnock 律法是公義的法庭,而福音則是恩典的寶座。 |
