Christian Quote by Lance Colkmire

“So what is the place of the Law in the life of the Christian? Simply this: We are no longer under the Law to be condemned by it, we are now ‘in-lawed’ to it because of our betrothal to Christ! He has written the Law, and love for it, into our hearts!”—Sinclair B. Ferguson” quote by Lance Colkmire
