"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.
