Finding God, by Walter Veith

When God gave His law to Moses on Mount Sinai, He displayed such power and grandeur that the people begged Moses not to let Him speak to them. Two thousand years later, the same Lawgiver spoke to His disciples face-to-face, expounding the principles of His law, showing that the place to start in our relationship with Him is to acknowledge our absolute poverty. When we realize that we cannot reach His high standard, it’s then that we are in a position where Christ can help us. Anything else is legalism.
