All over the world the law of God is being silenced. People are being fed a type of gospel with little or no appeal to obedience. One of the most frightening perils of our day is the spread of the climate of compromise between sin and moral standards. There is an abundance of cheap Christianity and religion with just enough prayer and church attendance to get by. Salvation is free, but it is not cheap.
Much religion is in name only.
Ours is a time when it is counted a virtue to be so broad-minded as to say a good word for everything. The eternal antagonism of God against sin is easily dismissed. Finally, we can believe and live with the conviction that the gospel and obedience to the Ten Commandments go together. Throughout the Bible great emphasis is placed upon obedience. Salvation by grace means that God gives Himself to us before He requires anything from us.
