"律法は自己義人のためにあり、彼らの誇りをへし折るためである。福音は失われた人々のためにあり、彼らの絶望を取り除くためである。"
— Charles Spurgeon

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people who think they are always right and good need rules to keep them from becoming too proud. These rules remind them that they are not perfect and need to stay humble. On the other hand, people who feel hopeless and lost need kindness and good news to lift their spirits. For example, a strict teacher's rules help the top students stay respectful and not get arrogant. But when a struggling student feels like giving up, a kind word from the teacher can give them hope and courage. In our lives, we can use strict rules to stay grounded, but also remember to show kindness to those who are feeling down.
