Love and Law: Two Perspectives of the Same Christian Ethic

"Modern theologians assume too readily that since love and law are not perfectly synonymous, one must take precedence over the other in the Christian life. They assume that the two must conflict with each other at some point. But why should we make that assumption? Is it not a fundamentally atheistic assumption? For if God exists, he is certainly able to create a world in which love and law both dictate precisely the same ethic."

-John Frame, The Doctrine of the Word of God
