Joshua 1:8 Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Hello! Greetings in our Lord Jesus Christ!
I am really so excited about this topic for today, you may be asking yourself how can I be righteous, how can I keep the law fully?
That's a good question to start with, but what is the law its self?
Many scholars and bible tutors have explained the law in its simplicity and executed it really very well though the most important part of the law has been left out hanging without being torched. Whenever we speke about the law, our mind always focus on the law of Moses that was given unto him on mount Sinai and we forget the law of God.
What is the law of God?
Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."
The law of God is found here. If you understand it from here, then you're free from Sin. Many of us are struggling with sin because they are practicing a shadow of something real. Sin is a life system as well as righteousness. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was the way to the world system which is carnal, and once Adam and Eve ate from its fruit, their mind and spirit was sold to the world, and hence they became slaves to the world.
If you haven't known that in the garden there was also the tree of Life yet, then you know it now, unfortunately Adam and Eve ate from the tree of death.
In Deuteronomy 30:15, God says, I set before you Life and death so that you may choose but before we chose, Adam had already chosen for us death.
This is the law that everyone is struggling with until now, and mostly according to our backgrounds by which we have learned so much from the world system. Our mind has been trained about life according to the course of this world and besides that nothing according to God and hence exhaling disobedience.
Paul writes about it in Eph 2, and shows how dead everyone was in the same boat waiting for God's wrath because of this.
Most of us don't even know that they walk under sin because they think that they have kept the law, but listen to me, whenever you think and plan to do and even do according to the world system(carnal mindset) my brother or sister you're already sinning. That's why Paul say that to be carnally minded is death(Rom 8:6) because the wage of sin is death. Whenever man exercises the knowledge and wisdom of the world, he or she is eating the same fruit on which Adam and Eve ate on and as a result sin. This commandment is very important to know, if you know it and keep it, there is no reason for you to keep the law of Moses.
The law of Moses wasn't for us to keep, because it couldn't provide salvation to us that we needed. Instead it revealed to us how sick we were of sin. Just imagine you have got a patient to the hospital and as the doctors do thoroughly check ups, they can't find the reason for his sickness. So they say let us give him this tablet and by tomorrow, we will be able to findout why he is sick. After he takes, tomorrow morning you find him with skin rushes, by the time you know it, it was measles.
So the law of moses was that tablet, it wasn't the cure for sin, that's why no one can please God by keeping the law. The law won't bring you to full health, but reveals to you, how wrong the world system by which you live is, and that no one who lives by it can please God.
In Romans 4, Paul explains to you well how Abraham was accounted to be righteous because of his faith in God, not by keeping the law.
For the just shall live by faith. Hallelujah. Habakuk 2:4,
Can you imagine, that even, the strength of sin is the law? Read 1Cor 15:56, the law empowers sin to be manifested in the world, so that people may repent and comeback to God there true source of life.
When one is reading, you may feel like I hate the law, but instead I am so proud of the law, that if it wasn't there, we would have died in our sin ignorantly. The law showed me how sinful I was, how sick I was, and what I needed to do to be healed.
My dear friends, tomorrow I will be writing about what you need to be healed from sin. Don't miss it please, and if you're so interested to get away from sin today, just pray with me and call up to Jesus in your room, anywhere you are and tell Him how you need Him to save you from Sin. Invite Him in your heart and believe that you're saved because in Him we have our redemption.
Thank you so much for reading and sharing my blog to your friends especially the one you know who are still slaves to sin. May you abundantly enjoy the blessings of God in your life.
