“The law is for the self-righteous, to humble their pride: the gospel is for the lost, to remove their despair.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon
@Crissy_1565 I would like to add to Mr. Spurgeons quote from 1. Tim. 1:8-11:
"Of course, we know that the law is good if a person uses it legitimately, that is, if he understands that the law is not intended for righteous people but for lawbreakers and rebels, for ungodly people and sinners, for those who are unholy and irreverent, for those who kill their fathers, their mothers, or other people, for those involved in sexual immorality, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for false witnesses, and for whatever else goes against the healthy teaching that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me."
@Crissy_1565 Actually, I believe that to preach the gospel, is also about preaching God's law, in that sense that everyone of us have sinned against a holy God and His standards: that's why we need to repent towards God and turn away from our sinful life.
To the woman, who was accused of adultery, Jesus showed his mercy when they wanted to stone her. And in the end Jesus said: "Go, and sin no more". So preaching about God's law (holiness) and his mercy goes hand in hand and is for everyone.
