"We, together with evangelical Christians everywhere, believe that our salvation in Jesus Christ is through grace, by faith alone; and because it is a completely undeserved gift, our good works cannot add to it. At the same time, a serious misunderstanding exists among many believers that for a Christian, God's law plays no part in their daily Christian life. The usual argument being that all that is required of us is 'love'. Such a view puts us dangerously close to many today who claim freedom in all relationships in the name of love. But, without God's law what is the basis of our ethics?" -- Book jacket
