Loving the Law (The Law of God in the Life of the Believer)

Loving the Law: The Law of God in the Life of the Believer by Stephen Spinnenweber offers a fresh, engaging exploration of the Ten Commandments and their enduring relevance for Christians today. In an era where many view God’s law as outdated or oppressive, Spinnenweber presents a compelling case for embracing the Moral Law as a gift of divine love and wisdom.

This accessible yet profound book unpacks the purpose and beauty of God’s law across six insightful chapters:

1. What Is the Law? – Clarifies the distinctions between Moral, Ceremonial, and Civil laws in Scripture.
2. The Ten Commandments – The Moral law is clarified.
3. The Law as Mirror – How the law reveals our sin and need for Christ.
4. The Law as Muzzle – The law’s role in restraining evil in society.
5. The Law as Map – How the law guides believers in sanctification and pleasing God.

Spinnenweber skillfully addresses common misconceptions about the law’s place in the Christian life. He demonstrates how a proper understanding of God’s law enhances our appreciation of the gospel, rather than diminishing it. Readers will discover how the law and grace work in beautiful harmony to shape believers into the image of Christ.

Key features of the book include:

• Clear explanations of challenging theological concepts
• Practical applications for daily Christian living
• Engaging writing style accessible to both new and mature believers
• Thoughtful interaction with historical Reformed theology
• Careful handling of difficult passages and apparent contradictions

Spinnenweber’s pastoral heart shines through as he guides readers to a deeper love for God’s perfect law. He masterfully shows how the law, rightly understood, leads to greater joy, freedom, and holiness in the Christian life.

Also included is a foreword by Jonathan Master, President of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in South Carolina.
