The Religious Duty of Obedience to Law - The Religious Duty of Obedience to Law by Ichabod S.Spencer
Excerpt: There are two great classes of human duty. One of them embraces duties which we owe to God, the other embraces duties which we owe to men.
This classification of duties received the sanction of Jesus Christ, when he spake of loving the Lord our God with all our heart, as the spirit and sum of the one class of duties, and of loving our neighbor as ourselves, as the spirit and sum of the other class of duties. It had also been previously taught at Mount Sinai, when God gave to Moses the two tables of the law—the one enjoining our duty to God, the other enjoining our duty to man.
