"For merely listening to the law does not make us right with God. OBEYING THE LAW is what makes us right in God's sight!"
Do you always obey the law? What will happen if everyone obeys the law when they feel like it or when they agree with it? Are STOP signs merely a suggestion or are they to be obeyed by everyone, to provide safety for us all? If we merely listen to or know about a law, that is not enough to make us right regarding the Law. If no one obeyed the laws there would be chaos!
You are not allowed to pick you own speed, regardless of the posted limit! You can not make up your own law as an individual. That is our One Truth Today! Merely listening to and understanding God's laws doe not make us right with the Lord! OBEYING THE LAW is what makes us right in God's sight. God's laws are meant to protect us and save us from harm and even death. If you do not obey the law you will suffer and can even die as a result!
Are you a good citizen in this world. Do you obey man's laws and God's Laws? If you can say yes, then you are a good citizen here on earth and you will be one in the Kingdom to come! It is when we obey the law that we are right with God, not just because we know about them. No one is good or perfect and we all have broken the law at one time or another. It still remains our duty to be doers of the Word and not just hearers! We must strive to do the right thing!
A violation here on earth can be costly in time, money and even our physical health. A violation of God's laws, that is not repented of or forgiven, can be eternally deadly. You will not be able to mock God and hide your thoughts, deeds, or actions. God will know if you just listened to His Law and His Word or whether you did what is right. OBEY THE LAW!
The "good news" is that although we have all sinned, and broken God's laws, God has a plan that will save us from punishment. All of us have come short of the Glory of God, but Jesus Christ can save us from our transgressions. If you accept the Lord into your heart and believe on His name you will be Saved and receive Mercy. You will be forgiven and found not guilty of the laws that you have broken. God's laws are written on our hearts and we are aware of what we can and can not do. That is our conscience. We know what is right and we know what is wrong. The issue is, it not enough to merely listen to the Laws. What makes us right with man and God is OBEYING THE LAW!
