For a long time now, I've seen a lot of threads and posts that downplay God's Law. I on the other hand love the Law of Almighty God. First of all, let me make my post perfectly clear. The Law of God is not to be followed to secure anyone's Salvation!! The death of Jesus Christ, on the cross at Calvary, His shed Blood that takes away our sins, secures my Salvation and Eternal Life.
So, why do I love the Law of God? Thanks for asking me.
The Law or Torah of God is His supreme revelation of Himself. A long time ago, I set out to search out what this God of my Salvation was really like. I knew that He loved me, but what else? I'd like to point to Psalm 19 for a good explanation and study source for all to consider.
Psalm 19:1 "To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
19:2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.
19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.
19:4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
19:5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
19:6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
19:8 the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure enlightening the eyes;
19:9 the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
19:11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
19:12 Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
19:13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me! Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.
19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
As you can plainly see from this, GOD'S WORD to you and me, this is serious holy instructions. Just look at verse seven.... "The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple." .... Hey, did you see that? PERFECT!! Does it get any better than that? Remember please, we're not talking about a way to Salvation, NO, We're talking about honoring the supreme revelation of our wonderful loving God.
The Law of the Lord is a photo album into the compartments of God's huge heart. In God's Law, He gives us a "hard drive" into what delights His heart to see worked out in His Children's daily lives....I like what James instructs....James 1:25 "But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing." Hey, who doesn't want to be blessed by God in our daily activities?
Look my friends, it's been a long time since we honored God and His Laws, Commands & Rules. Sure, some are for the Nation of Israel and don't apply to us. BUT some are for us, and God is delighted when we mirror them back to Him.
I'm wondering, could you please look at some of God's Commands and Laws, and see what applies to us and report your findings here in this thread? Lets make this a Team effort and search & study to honor God, asking the Holy Spirit to help us? I'll be busy myself. GO FOR IT!
