Bible Note: Hi Joe, I haven't taken the time to read all of this thread, but I would like to compare 1 Timothy and Ephesians. The two books point out to me the reason that we keep the law. He wants us to be able to render Him service. Ephesians 6:7, "With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free." He is our King and Master, the One we serve. 1 Timothy 1:16b, "as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever, Amen." One other comparison for your consideration. The church is subject to Christ so that He "might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless." Ephesians 5:27 Christ loves the church and can use us if we are good examples, because we are members of His body. 1 Timothy 1:14, So let's thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strenthened us; "because He considered me faithful, *putting me into service;..." Our Lord's grace and love is more than abundant. So to srbaegon I would say that we should keep all our laws and do all things to the glory of God. I'm sorry if I intruded too much. It appears that you sparked a good discussion. |
