Delighting in the Law of the Lord : God's Alternative to Legalism and Moralism

God’s people have neglected God’s law. We are steeped in a culture in which people hate being told how to live and idolize uninhibited “freedom.” What’s more, many Christians seem to think the law only leads to legalism and therefore doesn’t have a role to play in the Christian life. Yet, regardless of what society or even fellow believers say, we need guidance to truly honor God in everything we think, say, and do. Jerram Barrs helps us recognize and articulate the immense importance of God’s commands for godly living as he clears away unbiblical ideas that have crept into our thinking. Looking to the teachings of Jesus, this book will lead you to delight in the eternal beauty and life-changing significance of God’s perfect law. Author is an experienced professor of Christian studies and contemporary culture Helps readers embrace God’s law as a gracious and helpful gift Combats all legalism and moralism that would distract from the centrality of the gospel Written with both Christian and non-Christian readers in mind
