Because the law of the Lord is perfect, and therefore changeless, it is impossible for sinful men, in themselves, to meet the standard of its requirement. This was why Jesus came as our Redeemer. It

was His mission, by making men partakers of the divine nature, to bring them into harmony with the principles of the law of heaven. When we forsake our sins and receive Christ as our Savior, the law is exalted. The new-covenant promise is, I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them. Hebrews 10:16. The children of God are those who are partakers of His nature. . By the revelation of the attractive loveliness of Christ, by the knowledge of His love expressed to us while we were yet sinners, the stubborn heart is melted and subdued, and the sinner is transformed and becomes a child of heaven.

Whenever men choose their own way, they place themselves in controversy with God. They will have no place in the kingdom of heaven, for they are at war with the very principles of heaven. By venturing to disregard the will of God upon one point, our first parents opened the floodgates of woe upon the world.

It will require a sacrifice to give yourself to God; but it is *a sacrifice of the lower for the higher, *the earthly for the spiritual, *the perishable for the eternal.

It was Christ who, amid thunder and flame, had proclaimed the law upon Mount Sinai.
It is the Creator of men, the Giver of the law, who declares that it is not His purpose to set aside its precepts. Jesus, the express image of the Father's person, was a living representation of the character of the law of God.

The Lord came from Sinai,
And rose from Seir unto them;
He shined forth from Mount Paran,
And He came from the ten thousands of holy ones:
At His right hand was a fiery law unto them.
Yea, He loveth the tribes;
All their holy ones are in Thy hand:
And they sat down at Thy feet;
Everyone received of Thy words.
            Deuteronomy 33:2, 3, R.V.
