Proverbs 7:23
"For the commandment is a lamp; and the
law is light; and reproofs of instruction
are the way of life."
The light does not create the objects it shines upon, it only makes
manifest what was previously hidden, So religious revelation does not
create it's already established. The doctrines of Christianity, as they
are true, represent eternal facts. The New Testament brings these
facts to light.
The "commandment" is any special or particular commandment which harmonizes with God’s will, and commands what is to be done and forbids what is to be left undone. The "law" is the whole law of God in its entirety; not here in the Law of Moses technically, but the whole system of generalized instruction. They stand in the same relation to each other as "a lamp" and "light," the one being particular, and the other general. "Light" is light in general, as the light of the day and the sun, while "a lamp" is a particular light like that of a candle, which is made luminous from some other source. The "commandment" and the "law" alike enlighten the conscience and enables one to walk in his way of life.
Amen!!
