Have
you had your Joy Juice today? There is
no law that says you must drink it; it’s your choice.
Law is the system of rules that a particular country
or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members. We must obey
the law or suffer the consequences. That’s the legal system of our
country. But what about the law of God?
God’s laws are the rules of the Kingdom of God and
His way of life, and they are divine and perfect in intent, equity and
administration. The apostle Paul said God’s law is “holy and just and good” as
well as “spiritual” (Romans 7:12, 14).
King David wrote, “The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul,” and he went on to describe the beauty and benefits of
God’s testimonies, statutes, commandments and judgments— (Psalm 19:7-11).
Biblical laws are meant to be observed by all
countries and all people, for God created all people. But how short we fall
when it comes to obeying these laws!
Maybe it’s because we don’t think the Bible applies to us today???? Let’s be reminded that God is same yesterday,
today and in the days to come.
When God
wrote the 10 Commandments in stone, He was writing the foundational framework
for how mankind (not just Israel) should interact with God and with each other.
There are many laws in the Bible. The important thing to grasp is that God gave
the law out of love so that it might “go well with us.”
Obeying God's law leads to joy in the Lord.
