1 | What is the "perfect law?" | James 1:25 | Mommapbs | 133534 | ||
We are told in Romans 6:14 that we are not under the law but under grace. What is the "perfect law, the law of liberty?" How does one "look intently" at this? Does the worldly concept of the word "law" interfere with what God intends for His children? (imo, punishment is the deterrent for would-be law breakers; how does this compare to the perfect law?) | ||||||
2 | What is the "perfect law?" | James 1:25 | Batunde | 133557 | ||
James 1:22-23 The perfect law of liberty is the word of God. In James 1:22, it is called the Word. The word "liberty" is used to qualify the Word of God in order to show its saving grace. In Romans 10:8, it is called the word of faith. Verse 9 declares if you acknowledge and confess with your lips Jesus as Lord and you believe in your heart that God raised from the dead you will be safe. Jesus is the word personified (John 1:1). He has come to redeem mankind, to set at liberty those who are in bondage of satan and sin. So, the good news, the gospel, of our Lord Jesus Christ is the law of liberty. It is the law that sets free from bondage to law of Moses although Jesus Christ came to fulfil the law as written in the books in that by His spirit, the law is written in our hearts and we are thus responsive and responsible in keeping the law. We look intently at the law of liberty by reading and studying the word of God. Through this, we see ourselves as in a mirror, the way God sees us and we are able to amend our ways and thus by doing the word, we are transformed (Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18). We have to continue to look at the mirror of God's word in order to experience the desired change in God's own standard. By this, we are changed from glory to glory. |

Thanks for this wonderful reply Batunde - I'm wondering how many believers desire to experience this change, to evaluate themselves and others with God's standards rather than their own? Truly, the Word is liberating! Blessings, mommapbs |
