Psalm 119:135 – Shine
We need to know God’s rules both so we know what God calls us to do, but also so we know when human rules are masquerading as divine commands.
We need to know God’s rules both so we know what God calls us to do, but also so we know when human rules are masquerading as divine commands.
Looking at obeying God’s laws because they are wonderful, going beyond “God said it and I do it.”
God’s call is to keep all of the law all of the time, completely. Ouch!
There are many ways to promote lawlessness, both intentionally and unintentionally.
When is providing rules a gracious gift?
At the time of tough and urgent decisions you need to hahve a habit of attending to God’s instructions.
God’s laws offer wisdom, functioning optimally in our lives. Recognizing their value leads to improved living, much like understanding beneficial traffic laws for safety and order.
I emphasize the significance of God’s Word beyond written scriptures, linking it to creation, divine authority, and our understanding of God’s nature.
I discuss the goodness of God’s laws and statutes, contrasting human perceptions of rules as burdensome. It encourages viewing the law as a divine blessing promoting greatness.
God’s grace precedes His laws, illustrating that divine love and covenant obligations are gifts. True holiness comes from God’s actions, not self-sufficiency.
