LUTHER AND CALVIN ON LOVE, LIBERTY AND LAW

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The view of moral law we have suggested is consistent with both the primacy of Christian love and the privilege of Christian liberty. We must not forget, however, that we cannot fulfill the moral law without love and that love can be bestowed upon us only by grace, Moreover. it is only grace that can destroy the power of sin and restore to us the freedom to choose our highest good. Thus, both Christian love and Christian liberty spring from divine grace. Wheneer it has been forgotten, The Christian ethic has ceased to be an ethic of love and liberty and has degenerated into a form of ethical legalism by which men seek to save themselves, Whenever it has been remembered. Christians have through faith known the love which fulfills the law but fulfills it in liberty.
