is there said OF him that she will magnify the
law and make it honorable" II Christ had
come TO this earth and proceeded to tear
down His Fathers law, he would not have
fulfilled the scripture. In Ps. 40, in another
prophecy of Cnrist he said, al

Christ further SAYS, "Yea, thy law is within

words and acts were in perfect harmony with
the prophesies that went before. In Matt. 5,

heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title
shalt in no wise pass from the law till all be
fulfilled lie further says that whoever

the kingdom o. God; verse 20. What law is

The Apostle Paul also taught the propriety Of
Gods law. In Rom. 3:l9 be says that the
law shows the whole world to be guilty.
That Is because "all have sinned and become
short OF the glory OF God" verse %, Not
one man in the world can stand before Gods
law and say, am not a sinner. NO, II

them. By the law Is the knowledge OF SIN.
