THE LAW OF CHRIST IS GOOD!

 

"But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted." 

I Timothy 1:8-11 NASB.

The Law of God  is pure and good helping us to have a good conscience, planting love with a pure heart and a sincere faith. Unfortunately, there are those men who claim to be followers of our Lord and Savior who wanting to be teachers stray from the purity and simplicity of the Gospel of our Lord taking captives with their empty speculations and the doctrines of men rather than the everlasting Truth of God, His Law. These men are proud in their ignorance not wanting to accept with a good conscience and sincere faith what the will of God is for men. Let us not forget, like these men, that the Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul, making wise the simple. It is right, rejoicing the heart and pure, enlightening the eyes. It is clean, enduring forever and true. The Law is righteous altogether. The Law is more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey. But we must OBEY AND KEEP IT in order that we may have great reward, the crown of life.

It is ONLY through the Gospel of Christ, Law of Christ, that we can be strengthened in sound teaching and be faithful. Christ came into the unbelieving and sinful world showing mercy to her so that everyone who believes and obeys His Law might have eternal life. But we must love His Law fighting against all deception keeping it with a good conscience which some sadly reject shipwrecking their souls and the souls of others to eternal damnation. The Law of Christ is the only way to be blameless, but we must walk in it and observe it diligently. We must always purpose to walk in His way, His Law, in order not to be put to shame by sinning against the Almighty. We must always delight, mediate, seek, live and keep His Law.

May we never wander from His Law but rather observe and delight in His Law and never be put to shame. May He enlarge our hearts with understanding in order that we may observe and keep His LAW.
