You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” (Ex. 20:16).

"The 9th Law of Life" | 1888 Essential Reading

"The Ten Commandments, whether engraved on tables of stone or written in a book, are only statements of the righteousness of God. Righteousness means right doing. It is active. The righteousness of God is God's right doing, His way. And since all His ways are right, it follows that the righteousness of God is nothing less than the life of God. The written law is not action, but only a description of the action. It is a picture of the character of God."  Ellet J. Waggoner

"True faith is obedience. "This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He has sent" (John 6:29)."   Ellet J. Waggoner

"Christ is the life, and He is, therefore, our righteousness. The law written on two tables of stone could not give life any more than could the stones on which it was written. All its precepts are perfect, but the flinty characters cannot transform themselves into action." ~Ellet J. Waggoner

Ellet J. Waggoner

The Spirit is life because of righteousness. This, then, is that birth of the Spirit, which makes one entirely new; it makes the sinner righteous by making him a keeper of the law of God. 

Ellet J. Waggoner

The Cross is the demonstration of the power of God and of the inability of man.

The Cross is not just a singular event that happened about 2000 years ago.  Revelation 13.8 "the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world."

At creation God breathed out the breath of life into man; at the cross, Jesus breathed out His endless life that we might breathe it in.
