"律法是为了那些自以为是的人,来挫败他们的骄傲;福音是为了那些迷失的人,来消除他们的绝望。"
— 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.
