The Law of God
Law: how should the Christian think about it? A careful look at moral law, God’s covenants with Noah and Abraham, the law He gave to Moses for the nation of Israel, and finally, the law of Christ. Several erroneous ideas about the Law are also addressed.
Introduction
The material in this booklet was originally published as a four-installment series in “The Way of Truth”. After the last installment was published a brother suggested that we assemble the material into booklet form for easy distribution, because it is a subject upon which there is a lot of confusion.
It is also a very important subject, as our understanding of it will play a big part in how we live our Christian lives, and what is the foundation of our hope. The Bible makes very clear statements about God’s laws. Unfortunately, we do not always notice them. Instead of simply believing the Bible’s account, we tend to try to figure out and interpret human theory into it. The result may be excellent human interpretations, but without the authority of God’s Word.
In this booklet I want to show that what God has actually written in His Word is far more beautiful, complete and harmonious than all human attempts to interpret it. For the most part, man interprets the Bible because he does not have the faith to believe what it says. In these pages, we want to show that it is usually not necessary to interpret the Bible if we are willing to believe in simple faith what it says.
I have tried to keep human opinions and interpretations out of this book and only promote what the Bible, God’s Word, actually states. Any interpretations are human and may be in error - don’t build on them. But please do believe every statement we quote from the Bible. That is the Divine Word of God, and as such, it is truth.
