Dear Sir,
In response to David Cook’s interesting article, ‘How do I live? (en, May), I am not persuaded that all readers will agree: that our Lord Jesus ‘edits and revises’ Moses (though he does extend and deepen him); that the law of Moses will not help us with sanctification (see 2 Timothy 3.16).
Would we agree with Paul, who delights in God’s law after the inward man (Romans 7.22)? Do we agree with our Lord’s own words in Matthew 5.18: ‘Until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the law’?
