正因為法律與道德、法治與德治存在諸多區(qū)別，同時又有若干內在一致的地方，因此依法治國與以德治國在功能上是相互補充、相互作用的，在價值目標上是殊途同歸、有機統(tǒng)一的。法治是社會主義道德的底線和后盾，凡是法治禁止的，通常也是社會主義道德反對的；凡是法治鼓勵的，通常也是社會主義道德支持的。社會主義道德是法治的高線和基礎，是法治具有合理性、正當性與合法性的內在依據(jù)，法治的價值、精神、原則、法理等大多建立在社會主義道德的基礎上，法治的諸多制度和規(guī)范本身是社會主義道德的制度化和法律化。同時，法治不應當規(guī)范和調整人們的思想意志，對于思想范疇的問題往往表現(xiàn)得無能為力；而對于道德淪喪、良心泯滅之徒的行為，思想道德的約束也常常無濟于事，正所謂“寸有所長，尺有所短”。所以，我們既要反對以法治完全取代德治的做法，也要反對重視德治而忽視法治的傾向。
總之，我國法治正經歷著從形成中國特色社會主義法律體系到建設中國特色社會主義法治體系轉變、從以立法為中心到以憲法法律實施為重點轉變、從法律大國向法治強國轉變的戰(zhàn)略大調整。在前所未有的歷史新起點上全面推進依法治國、加快建設法治中國，必須統(tǒng)籌全面建成小康社會、全面深化改革和全面從嚴治黨，在“四個全面”總體戰(zhàn)略布局的偉大實踐中，不斷開創(chuàng)中國特色社會主義法治建設的新局面。
