The Law and the Saint 1. Introduction
By A.W. Pink0ROM 8:7EPH 5:22A.W. Pink discusses the dual nature of unregenerate sinners, who embody both Phariseeism and Antinomianism, leading to a pervasive lawlessness in society and the church. He emphasizes that the disregard for Divine Law stems from a lack of fear of God, which has resulted in moral decay across various aspects of life. Pink argues that the Law of God is eternal and binding on all, serving as a moral standard that reflects God's character, while grace does not abolish the Law but fulfills its requirements through Christ. He warns against the contemporary teaching that separates Law from Grace, asserting that both are integral to understanding God's plan for humanity. Ultimately, Pink calls for a recognition of the Law's importance in the life of believers, as it guides them in living righteously under the grace provided by Christ.

Brooks calls for a recognition of the destructive impact these places have on society and the urgent need for repentance and reform.
