Righteousness and the Law

In the law, the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness that condemns all our pretenses of righteousness as ‘filthy rags.’ But in the gospel, a righteousness that is from God, that is, a gift of righteousness, is revealed… 
We need to constantly hear the law of God, in spite of our own failure to conform to it, so that we will be running to Christ.
—Michael Horton in The Law of Perfect Freedom: Relating to God and Others Through the Ten Commandments
