1  Theology / General Theology / HEROES of the Faith Speak - THE LAW on: October 23, 2005, 12:59:55 PM
Martin Luther - "The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and show the nature of sin, because it will act as a schoolmaster and bring him to everlasting life which is in Jesus christ."

John Wesley - "Before I preach love, mercy, and grace, I must preach sin, law, and judgment."

Wesley later told a friend to "Preach 90 percent law, and 10 percent grace."

Charles Spurgeon - "They will never accept grace until they tremble before a just and holy law."

Charles Finney - "Evermore the law must prepare the way for the gospel; to overlook this in instructing souls is almost certain to result in false hope, the introduction of a false standard of christian expereince, and to fill the church with false converts."

John wycliffe - "The highest service  to which a man may attain on earth is to preach the law of God."

D.L. Moody - "God, being a perfect God, had to give a perfect law, and the law was given not to save men, but to measure them."

Why is it, that, christians promote the necessity of keeping the Ten Commandments, but, keep only nine, and spiritualize the fourth?

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law."  1 John 3:4

Paul said, "Do we then make void the law through faith?  God forbid: yea, we establish the law."  Romans 3:31.

Are you saying, that, if we are in Christ, we can worship other gods? murder? commit adultery? steal?  Then, how can we justify the breaking of the fourth commandment?

God does not force us to keep His commandments, but He does say, that, if we love Him, we will.

Ceremonial Law:

1.  Is called "the law contained in ordinances" (Eph 2:15)
2.  Was spoken by Moses. (Leviticus 1:1-3)
3.  Was written by Moses in a book.  (11 Chronicles 35:12)
4.  Was placed in the side of the ark. (Deuteronomy 31:24-26)
5.  Was nailed to the cross (Colossians 2:14)
6.  Was abolished by Christ (Ephesians 2:15)

10 Commandments:

1.  Is called the "royal law" (James 2:Cool
2.  Was spoken by God (Deuteronomy 4:12,13)
3.  Was written with the finger of God.  (Exodus 31:18)
4.  Was placed in the ark.  (Exodus 40:20; Hebrews 9:4)
5.  Is to "stand forever and ever."  (Psalms 111:7,8)
6.  Was not destroyed by Christ. (Matthew 5:17,18)

Who wrote the Ten Commandments?  We know, that, the Lord did.  Who has the authority to change God's law?  None. The day of worship has always been the seventh day, not the first.

"And on the seventh day God ended his work which he made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."  (Genesis 2:2,3)

"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy."

"Its just a day..."  It was just a tree in the Garden of Eden and look what happened.
 
Jesus said, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  This is the first commandment."  (If you keep the first four of the 10, you have fulfilled this law.)  "And the second is like unto it.  Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."  (If you keep the last six, you will fulfill this commandment.)  "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."  (Matthew 22:37-40)

Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15)

John said, "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."  (1 John 2:4)

The fourth commandment is His seal - We see His name -"Lord" (Yahweh), His title -"God" (Creator), His domain -(Heaven & Earth).  Revelation 14:7 says, "...Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters."

Its about worship and obedience...
