“Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ . . . They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place.” MenLightLawPurposeChristLossPowerfulAcceptingTakenGraceSeriousHolyWeaponsGainsGuiltConvictionConversionPerceiveSinnerMost PowerfulDeprivedLikelihoodPowerful Weapons Author:Charles Spurgeon

“Intellectual methods-study and reason-are essential to our progress toward eternal life, but they are not sufficient. They can prepare the way. They can get the mind ready to receive the Spirit. But what the scriptures call conversion-the change of mind and heart that gives us the direction and strength to move resolutely toward eternal life-comes only by the witness and power of the Holy Spirit.” WayGivingMindHeartReasonMovingSpiritStudyProgressReadyHolyEssentialsEternalIntellectualMethodScriptureConversionWitnessSufficientHoly SpiritHeart And MindEternal LifeMind Changing Author:Dallin H.
