"The failure of relationship works both ways. As I read the history of the Israelites and their binding contract with God, I see sparse references to God's delight or pleasure. With a few shining exceptions, the history books - and especially the prophets - portray a God who seems irritated, disappointed, or downright furious. The law did not encourage obedience, rater it magnified disobedience. Law merely indicated the sickness; grace brought the cure."
"What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Philip Yancey - Zondervan 1997.
