Psalms119:163

Opposite poles of the Christian character.

1. Why I hate lying, because it comes from the devil (Proverbs 8:44, Acts 5:3): it leads to the devil (Revelation 11:8, Revelation 22:15): it is base, dangerous, degrading (Proverbs 19:5, 1 Timothy 4:2, 2 Timothy 3:13): it is hated by the Lord (Proverbs 6:16, Proverbs 6:17, Proverbs 6:7:22).

2. Why I love the law. Because it emanates from God; is the reflection of his character; is the ideal of my character.

3. How I came thus to hate and love. By the grace of God: ver. 29.
