Jerry Bridges says:“In our human values of civil laws, we draw a huge distinction between an
otherwise ‘law-abiding citizen’ who gets an occasional traffic ticket and a
person who lives a ‘lawless’ life in contempt and utter disregard for all laws.
But the Bible does not seem to make that distinction. Rather, it simply says sin
– that is, all sin without distinction – is lawlessness” (p. 20).
