"The law of God is the only true standard of moral perfection.
---That law was exemplified in
the life of Christ. He says of Himself, "I have kept my Father's commandments" (John 15:10).
---Nothing
short
of this obedience will meet the requirements of God's word. "He that saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk, even as he walked" (1 John 2:6).
---We cannot plead that we are unable to do
this, for we have the assurance, "My grace is sufficient for thee" (2 Cor. 12:9).
As we look into the
divine mirror, the law of God, we see the exceeding sinfulness of sin,
and our own lost condition as
transgressors.
But by repentance and faith we are justified before God, and through divine grace
enabled to render obedience to His commandments." E.G.W.
