powerful taken loss
Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion.

Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place. Charles Spurgeon
