正因为法律与道德、法治与德治存在诸多区别，同时又有若干内在一致的地方，因此依法治国与以德治国在功能上是相互补充、相互作用的，在价值目标上是殊途同归、有机统一的。法治是社会主义道德的底线和后盾，凡是法治禁止的，通常也是社会主义道德反对的；凡是法治鼓励的，通常也是社会主义道德支持的。社会主义道德是法治的高线和基础，是法治具有合理性、正当性与合法性的内在依据，法治的价值、精神、原则、法理等大多建立在社会主义道德的基础上，法治的诸多制度和规范本身是社会主义道德的制度化和法律化。同时，法治不应当规范和调整人们的思想意志，对于思想范畴的问题往往表现得无能为力；而对于道德沦丧、良心泯灭之徒的行为，思想道德的约束也常常无济于事，正所谓“寸有所长，尺有所短”。所以，我们既要反对以法治完全取代德治的做法，也要反对重视德治而忽视法治的倾向。
总之，我国法治正经历着从形成中国特色社会主义法律体系到建设中国特色社会主义法治体系转变、从以立法为中心到以宪法法律实施为重点转变、从法律大国向法治强国转变的战略大调整。在前所未有的历史新起点上全面推进依法治国、加快建设法治中国，必须统筹全面建成小康社会、全面深化改革和全面从严治党，在“四个全面”总体战略布局的伟大实践中，不断开创中国特色社会主义法治建设的新局面。
