We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God’s holiness is manifested at the Cross. Wondrously and yet most solemnly does the Atonement display God’s infinite holiness and abhorrence of sin. How hateful must sin be to God for Him to punish it to its utmost deserts when it was imputed to His Son!…The “god” which the vast majority of professing Christians “love” is looked upon very much like an indulgent old man, who himself has no relish for folly, but leniently winks at the “indiscretions” of youth. But the Word says, “Thou hatest all workers of iniquity” (Ps. 5:5). And again, “God is angry with the wicked every day” (Ps. 7:11). But men refuse to believe in this God, and gnash their teeth when His hatred of sin is faithfully pressed upon their attention. No, sinful man was no more likely to devise a holy God than to create the Lake of fire in which he will be tormented for ever and ever.
A.W. Pink

Reformed interpreters generally must speak (in so many words) of the fulfillment of the ceremonial law, the cancellation/abrogation of the civil law, and the continuance of the moral law. But all this is confusing and completely unnecessary if the whole of the law may be viewed as taken up into Christ and given His new and authoritative interpretation. With this, then, “every detail” of the law (of Moses!) may be observed by the New Covenant believer in precisely the same way: namely, in the way it comes to him from the hands of Christ.

    1 מזמור לדוד בברחו מפני אבשלום בנו יהוה מה רבו צרי רבים קמים עלי׃
    2 רבים אמרים לנפשי אין ישועתה לו באלהים סלה׃
    3 ואתה יהוה מגן בעדי כבודי ומרים ראשי׃
    4 קולי אל יהוה אקרא ויענני מהר קדשו סלה׃
    5 אני שכבתי ואישנה הקיצותי כי יהוה יסמכני׃
    6 לא אירא מרבבות עם אשר סביב שתו עלי׃
    7 קומה יהוה הושיעני אלהי כי הכית את כל איבי לחי שני רשעים שברת׃
    8 ליהוה הישועה על עמך ברכתך סלה׃
