Paul died to trying to be justified by his personal obedience to the law. The issue I am dealing with you is not being justified. I am talking about those who are already justified. What do the people of God, who are justified only by the blood of Christ, look like? What do they desire? What do they yearn for? What do they strive for? What do they love? The saints love God and His righteousness; they love His law, commandments, and ordinances. They meditate on them day and night.
If you're not meditating on the law and righteousness of God, if it is not your delight, then you have every reason, by Scripture, to fear, for you may not know the Lord.
