To believe in a just law of cause and effect, carrying with it a punishment or a reward, is to believe in righteousness.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Belief is a moral act for which the believer is to be held responsible.
In everyday things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty.
Obedience is the fruit of faith.
I think that feeling that if one believed absolutely in any cause, then one must have the confidence, the self-certainty, to go through with that particular course of action.
Obedience is an act of faith; disobedience is the result of unbelief.
The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.
You either believe that people respond to authority, or that they respond to kindness and inclusion. I'm obviously in the latter camp. I think that people respond better to reward than punishment.
To sin offers repentance and forgiveness; not to sin offers only punishment.
God revealed himself through the Law, which pointed to Christ as its end and goal, commanded the obedience that comes from faith, increased transgressions, and shut the mouths of all humans because no one has performed the righteousness of the Law so as not to need a substitute.
Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
