FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE PERFECT LAW OF A PERFECT GOD vs THE IMPERFECT LAWS OF IMPERFECT MAN
“The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Psalms.19:7, KJV.
“The laws which God have His ancient people were wiser, better, and more humane than those of the most civilized nations of the earth. The laws of nations bear the marks of infirmities and passions of the unrenewed [unconverted] heart]; but God’s law bears the stamp of the divine.
“All His commandments are sure.’ Whatever is built upon the authority of man will be overthrown: but that which is founded upon the rock of God’s immutable word shall stand forever. The sacred statutes had hated and sought to destroy, will be honored throughout a sinless universe.
“Obedience was the only condition upon which ancient Israel was to receive the fulfillment of the promises that made them the highly honored people of God; and obedience to that law will bring as great blessings to individuals and nations now as it would have brought the Hebrews.” Sons & Daughters, pp. 38, 39.
Jesus said, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” How much do you love Jesus? Enough to lovingly obey His commandments? NMF
