J.I. Packer J.I. Packer (Growing in Christ)(Growing in Christ)
“Love and law are not opponents but allies, forming together the axis of true morality. Law needs love as its drive, else we get the Pharisaism that puts principles before people and says one can be perfectly good without actually loving one’s neighbor….”
J.I. Packer J.I. Packer (Growing in Christ)(Growing in Christ)
“And love needs law as its eyes, for love is blind. To want to love someone Christianly does not of itself tell you how to do it. Only as we observe the limits set by God’s law can we really do people good….”
J.I. Packer J.I. Packer (Growing in Christ)(Growing in Christ)
“As cars, being made as they are, only work well with gas in the tank, so we, being made as we are, only find fulfillment in a life of law-keeping. This is what we were both made and redeemed for.”
