The Freedom of Love
Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life
Understanding Obedience to Laws and the Need for a Savior
Obedience to laws with ill intentions like pride, anger, or fear is akin to disobedience. Merely conforming to a law without a right heart is considered disobedience. Misusing morality to harm others is as wrong as immorality itself. Attempting to gain God's favor through obedience to the law actually signifies disobedience, as it involves not truly understanding and following the law. Adhering only to the golden rule without acknowledging the need for a savior is insufficient, as the golden rule not only guides behavior but also reveals human inability to perfectly follow it. The golden rule points towards the need for a savior, emphasizing that mere adherence to ethical principles is not enough without recognition of one's inherent shortcomings and the need for redemption.
