“Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt. This is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain,
for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [most
powerful weapon] when you have taken away the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ. They will never accept grace until they
tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves most necessary and blessed purpose and must not be moved from its place.”
— Charles Haddon Spurgeon
