First preach the Law...
"Before I preach love, mercy and grace, I must preach sin, Law and judgment." - John Wesley
"I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law" - Charles Spurgeon
“The essence of the Law should be unsparingly applied to the conscience until the sinner's self righteousness is annihilated and he stands speechless and self condemned before a holy God.” - Charles Finney
"The first duty of the Gospel preacher is to declare God's Law and show the nature of sin, because it will act as a schoolmaster and bring him to everlasting life which is in Jesus Christ." - Martin Luther
"God's grace cannot be faithfully preached to unbelievers until the Law is preached and man's corrupt nature is exposed. It is impossible for a person to fully realize his need for God's grace until he sees how terribly he has failed the standards of God's Law." - John MacArthur
"It is a great mistake to give a man who has not been convicted of sin certain passages that were never meant for him. The Law is what he needs … Do not offer the consolation of the gospel until he sees and knows he is guilty before God. We must give enough of the Law to take away all self-righteousness. I pity the man who preaches only one side of the truth, always the gospel and never the Law." - D.L. Moody
...and then the grace of God.
