Subject: Partly under the Law? |
Bible Note: The law that was contrary to us was the law which was kept in a pocket on the side of the Ark which was the law that goverened the sacrifices and the way that they were to be peformed. This law was not written by God's finger, but by a man's hand under the guidence of God. The tables of stone written by the finger of God were kept inside the Ark under the Mercy Seat with the two angels looking downward to the law of God which is a reflection of His character. We are to keep this law as a sign that we love Him and belong to Him so that His character is replecated in us.Eccl 12:13 Keeping the law does not earn you a place in the Kingdom, but keeping the law out of love to God being obedient to His commands shows that you are His and not of this world. It is also written, 1 Jn 2:3-6 Look at verse 4 He that saith, I know him,and keepht not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Jn 14:15 also. For this very reason is how we get to be the church of Laodiceia, because we have fallen away from the pure doctrine and keep traditions and make void the law of God. 2 Thes 2:3-12, Mt15:9 Mk 7:7. Eze 20:20 Isa 66:22,23 God is love and there is no greater love we can show to God and to others than the keeping of the law, for the law shows us our sin,like a mirror.Paul said he would not have known what sin was except for the law showed him. Rom 7:7, Rom 3:20,6:15-18. This is the love of God 1Jn 5:1-3. Only those who keep His commandments will avoid the mark of the beast Rev 14:12 Eze 20:12 Dan 7:25 Identify the one who thinks to change time and law. Who has tampered with God's Royal Law? |
