“The Gospel is temporary, but the law is eternal and is restored precisely through the Gospel. Freedom from the law consists, then, not in the fact that the Christian has nothing more to do with the law, but lies in the fact that the law demands nothing more from the Christian as a condition of salvation. The law can no longer judge and condemn him. Instead he delights in the law of God according to the inner man and yearns for it day and night.” MenFactsChristianLawLyingNightConditionsJudgingDemandEternalSalvationDelightTemporaryDay And Night Author:Herman Bavinck
“Whoever isolates himself from the church, i.e., from Christianity as a whole, from the history of dogma in its entirety, loses the truth of the Christian faith. That person becomes a branch that is torn from the tree and shrivels, an organ that is separated from the body and therefore doomed to die. Only within the communion of the saints can the length and the breadth, the depth and the height, of the love of Christ be comprehended.” PersonsWholeBodyChristianDiesChristLosesChurchChristianityTreeDepthSaintHeightBranchesLengthOrgansDogmaDoomedCommunionTornChristian FaithBreadthEntirety Book:Reformed Dogmatics : Volume 1: Prolegomena Source: Reformed Dogmatics : Volume 1: Prolegomena
