3. “A new and more powerful proclamation of the Law is perhaps the most pressing need of the hour; men would have little difficulty with the gospel if they had only learnt the lesson of the Law.” – J. Gresham Machen.

6. “The Law’s part in transformation is to make a person aware of his sin and of his need for divine forgiveness and redemption and to set the standard of acceptable morality. Until a person acknowledges his basic sinfulness and inability to perfectly fulfill the demands of God’s Law, he will not come repentantly to seek salvation. Until he despairs of himself and his own sinfulness, he will not come in humble faith to be filled with Christ’s righteousness. A person who says he wants salvation but refuses to recognize and repent of his sin deceives himself. Grace means nothing to a person who does not know he is sinful and that such sinfulness means he is separated from God and damned. It is therefore pointless to preach grace until the impossible demands of the Law and the reality of guilt before God are preached.” - John MacArthur.

10. “B LESSED ARE THOSE WHOSE LAWLESS DEEDS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN, A ND WHOSE SINS HAVE BEEN COVERED. B LESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE L ORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.” Romans 4:7-8.
