The law of God: Is it still applicable or relevant today or did Grace do away with the Law?

The law of God: Is it still applicable or relevant today?

1 John 5:3

Let’s look at God as the Architect. Now if as an architect you draw a plan n design your model, firstly you take a piece of land where there are trees, grass and stones all over and you clear the place. Now you build according to your specifications.

So this universe is a system n as such it’s governed by certain laws brought by the creator.

For example the force of gravity. Now when you disobey the law of gravity of will come out on the receiving end for example death. But when we see someone on the edge we plead with them because they not an exception to the rule.

Now the bible in Colossians 1:16 all things were created by him n for him n in him all things hold together. We are desperately trying to secure our place in God’s new earth

We know that we have defects in our lives in the process of trying to correct ourselves is it possible we could be doing things the wrong way?

Is it possible to study and still fail the test? YES .If you don’t follow the syllabus. And saints just in case you haven’t heard there is a new syllabus called the new covenant.

In Romans 10:4 he says,

“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” In Galatians 3:24, 25 he says,

 “The law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.”

There are those who make a list of doe’s n don’ts

People who try to keep but do it in the wrong way: they don’t follow the syllabus – the bible
Listen to what happens to those who try to attain without following the bible, insist it that David said thy word is a lamp unto my feet n he also says I have kept thy word in my heart that I may not sin against thee.Isiah 50:

The law should be used as a mirror. After taking a bath you check yourself in the mirror to see if all is in the right place. That is the correct use of the law of God.

Now to some this mirror becomes a burden. They feel God is limiting them by saying do not fornicate but in reality, everything that God allows or does not allow is ultimately for your benefit. Ecclesiastics 8:11

God's commands are not a burden. Only when you take time to know him.

Mark 12:30-31

Have you noticed that Joseph did not take Potiphar’s wife because he did not want to sign against his God, but that was before the 10 commandments were given? How did he know it was a sin to take another man’s wife? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

If you enjoy being robbed yes go ahead n rob. Being lied to, cheated etc.

In conclusion

What is the essence of our faith: Jesus is the essence of our faith.

Why do we make a checklist of the law of God? It’s because we want acceptance n glorification. When you join the faith it’s like enrolling at the university. You write tests now n then assuming you pass eventually you graduate/ Glorification. Now listen to what Paul said when he referred to glorification.

Colossians 1:27

The mirror / the law also serves as the devil’s syllabus. All he has to do is make you cherish what God hates. God hates sin.

2 Corinthians , John 3:3, 1 John 5:3-5

We are saved to obey.
