The Saint and the Law

Though the Law itself is not changed, and cannot be changed in itself or in its claims, our relation to the Law, and the Law's relation to us, is altered upon our believing on Him Who is "the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" (Rom 10:4). Bonar shows that love is guided by the Law as the expression of the will of our Beloved. Obedience to the Law is true liberty for the believer. As believers, we are no longer in bondage, but in the spirit of adoption and filial love we are freed to obey the Law, even as the Son of God obeyed it.
