The Road Of Obedience Has No End


"The conscience, our own anxiety, and all salves of the law bid us to go the way of obedience to the very end in order to find peace with God.  But the way of obedience has no end.  It lies endlessly before you, bringing continually severer demands and constantly growing indebtedness.  If you seek peace on that road, you will not find peace, but the debt of ten thousand talents instead.  But now Christ is the end of the law; the road ends at his feet, and here his righteousness is offered to everyone who believes. It is to that place, to Jesus only, that God has wanted to drive you with all your unrest and anguish of soul."
