Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat of rams.
1 Samuel 15:22
"The Lord requires at this time just what He required of Adam in Eden—perfect obedience to the law of God.
We must have righteousness without a flaw, without a blemish.
God gave His Son to die for the world,
but He did not die to repeal the law
which was holy and just and good.
*The sacrifice of Christ on Calvary is an unanswerable argument
showing the immutability of the law.
*Its penalty was felt by the Son of God in behalf of guilty man,
that through His merits the sinner might obtain the virtue of His spotless character by faith in His name."
E.G.W.
