Faith Enthrones God In the Heart.

(Excerpt) 

Ro.331 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid; yea, we establish the law

Making Void the Law. 

Making void the law does not mean abolishing it. There is no question as to the perpetuity of the law. It is so plainly eternal that the apostle Paul never wastes space in arguing about it. The only question is as to how its claim may be satisfied.

The Saviour said that the Jews made the commandment of God of none effect through their tradition. So far as they were concerned, they made it void. No man could by any action or lack of action abolish or in any way affect the law of God. But anybody may by his unbelief obliterate it from his own heart. 

The question then is, Do we by faith make the law of God of none effect? 

Or,  more plainly still, Does faith lead to the transgression of the law? The answer is, "Not by any means."

Establishing the Law. 

That which has been said in regard to making void the law of God will apply here also.  That is, no action of man can make the law anything different from what it actually is. It is the foundation of the throne of God, and as such it will ever abide, in spite of demons and men.

But it is left for us to say whether or not we will have it obliterated from our hearts, or have it established there.

If we choose to have it established in our hearts, we have only to accept Christ by faith. Faith brings Christ to dwell in the heart. Eph. 3:17.

Eph 3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love

The law of God is in the heart of Christ (Ps. 40:8), 

Psa 40:8  I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 

…so that the faith which brings Christ into the heart establishes the law there. And since the law of God is the establishment of his throne, the faith which brings the law into the heart, enthrones God there. And thus it is that God works in men "both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

 Php_2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
