Law and the Saint, The

Arthur W Pink

Arthur Walkington Pink (1886-1952) was an itinerate pastor and Bible teacher who is known today for his theological and expository writings, which have gained greatly in circulation and esteem since his death. He was born in Scotland, but after 1910 he lived in the United States, studying briefly at the Moody Bible Institute and serving in several different pastorates. He spent three years in Australia during the 1920's, another year in England (1928), and seven more years in America, during which he preached and wrote without achieving obvious popular success. Most of his works were published as articles in the Bible exposition magazine Studies in the Scriptures, which he edited. He recognized the failures of his personal ministry, but also felt God's certain blessing upon his written ministry. He returned to Scotland in 1934, where he lived the rest of his life in virtual isolation.

A short study of the ever-important issue of the relationship between the Law and the believer in Christ.

This short treatise discusses the perennial issue of the relationship between the believer (or saint), who has been justified before God, and the Law (meaning principally the Ten Commandments and the Old Testament code). The issue of the Divine Law is particularly important for the author in light of what he sees as a current age of lawlessness (or, Antinomianism). As in many of Pink’s writings, an effort is made to recover or reemphasize traditional Biblical teachings and Christian doctrines. Two “sides” are presented – the positive and negative – of the Law as it relates to believers.
