# Geerhardus Vos on Legalism

**“Legalism lacks the supreme sense of worship. It obeys but it does not adore.** And no deeper notes of adoration have ever been struck than those inspired by the Reformed Faith, no finer fruit of the lips making confession to God’s name has ever been placed upon the Christian altar.”

— from [*Hebrews, the Epistle of the Diatheke* (Part 2) (1916)](/authors/geerhardus-vos), p. 59
