God's law is our pleasure when the God of the law is our God
Charles Spurgeon
THE LAW
Exodus 20:1-21
God’s law, the TEN COMMANDMENTS, is His MORAL LAW
Romans 3:20; 7:7
The LAW gives us a KNOWLEDGE of SIN
1 John 3:4; James 2:9
Because SIN is the BREAKING of the LAW
Romans 4:15
A LAW cannot be broken if there is NO LAW
Romans 5:13
Therefore no one can be GUILTY of SIN if there is NO LAW
Romans 3:23
Yet the Bible clearly states that ALL have BROKEN THE LAW
Romans 13:8-10; Matthew 19:16-26
LOVE on the other hand is the KEEPING OF THE LAW
Romans 7:12
The LAW is said to be HOLY, JUST and GOOD
Romans 3:31; 6:1; 6:6-7
GRACE & FAITH does not REMOVE the LAW but ESTABLISH it
Romans 3:28 (Ephesians 2:8-9)
It is IMPORTANT to know that we are not SAVED by the KEEPING of the LAW
1 John 5:2-3; Deuteronomy 5:10
The KEEPING of the LAW is the FRUIT of the SAVED
Ecclesiastes 12:13
It is the DUTY of MANKIND to KEEP THE LAW
John 15:10; 14:15; 14:21
JESUS kept the LAW & IF we LOVE HIM we will KEEP the LAW
James 1:25; 2:8
The LAW is referred to as the LAW OF FREEDOM
Also as the ROYAL LAW. The LAW of our KING
James 2:12
All of MANKIND will be JUDGED by this LAW
