Living Life by God's Law: A Study in the Ten Commandments - Paperback

by Gordon Kenworthy Reed (Author)

I know of no subject more pertinent to the need in America today than that herein treated. As Gordon Reed says, "Across our beloved land ... there is sweeping a dreadful malady that threatens to destroy the foundation ... lawlessness." How does one counter lawlessness? The Gospel of Jesus Christ counters lawlessness as the law is inscribed afresh in those hearts that are quickened by God's spirit.

"I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God and they shall be My people." (Jeremiah 31:33)

But the law prepares the way for the Gospel. And then the Gospel sends us back to the law as God's standard. If the believer is to live a holy life, if he is to bear fruit, he must understand and obey these commandments.
