O How Love I Thy Law (Lecture)

This exhortation, entitled Oh How I Love Thy Law, invites listeners to reflect on the absolute certainty and reliability of God’s word in contrast to the ever-shifting claims of human philosophy, science, and psychology. Where human conclusions rest on probabilities and assumptions, the scriptures stand as a sure foundation, providing wisdom, guidance, and peace. The psalmist’s declaration in Psalm 119—“Oh how love I thy law”—becomes a call for us to meditate daily on God’s word, to trust it above every other voice, and to find in it a counselor that never fails. The exhortation underscores that doctrine and daily living are inseparably linked, and that love for God’s law shapes the way we respond to life’s challenges, removing stumbling blocks and giving us confidence that endures. Ultimately, it is in this love of the law that we discover not only truth but the way of love itself, a way that anchors us in God’s wisdom and directs us toward eternal life.
