which is preferable? Setting of
laws or asking God for his grace,
A child whose parents did not
dedicate to God Almighty will be
warned/advice not to mingle
with bad friends,or involve in all
sort of immoral acts...
But the moment the child steps
out from home for a while,may
be to go and study far
away....such child tends to ignore
such parental advices,and he/she
starts to misbehave....
But a child whose parent
dedicates his up bringing to
God,with or without advice,such
child will surely live a good
life...such child never brings
shame upon his/her family....
To me,that is the simple
definition of LAW AND GRACE...
Take another example...
To live by Jesus teachings and to
live by mosaic laws(laws of God
through prophet moses)....
We all know much about the
israelites journey in the desert
with moses,how they rebel and
repent occasionaly...e tc..
Jews before birth and death of
jesus and also the Muslims tends
to believe much on mosaic laws
(TORAH) and even practice some
till today..eg...1.w hen you had
contact with your wife in the
night,before sun rise both of you
have to take your birth{purify}
before early morning prayers,
2.every israelite male child must
be circumcised.
3.wearing of white
garments,leavin g of
beard,pulling off sandals before
prayers,purifyi ng oneself before
prayers,obeying of the
commandments etc..read more
laws in the book of exodus...
The truth is that the israelites
made great mistake,by telling
moses they can obey God's laws
(exodus19:7-
no man has,and no man can or
will ever meet up to God's
standards...non e!...
Cos of israel stubborn and
disobedients to such laws..God
destroyed most of them in the
desert,and God also called them
"stiff necked people"
the reason why God is pleased
with Abraham, is cos of faith he
has,and not of willingness to
obey LAWS...israelit es enjoyed
Abraham's favors through the
covenant God made with him in
the book of (genesis15:9-21 )
this favors remained with the
israelites untill God made another
covenant with moses at mount
sinai(exodus19 read all)..this time
around this covenant was not
favourable to the israelites,for
they told moses that they want to
see and speak to God,but when
God's waves striked their camps
they were all terrified..you can
see how stubborn they are, and
how their acceptance to obey
God's laws lead them into....
Come o! I never finish self,
see the list of the people who
laws are meant for by St.paul in
the book of (Romans 1:28-32)
A friend{from diff.faith} once
asked me,Christopher, why is it
that ur faith{religion} says that
they believed in the 10
commandments,ye t they
continue to fail in keeping them?
My reply was this; if the
commandment says we should
not steal,kill,comm it adultery
etc..so what happens if i steal but
did not kill anyone,have i kept the
law?for if you observe 5 out of
the 10 of the commandments
and you falter in the remaining
ones,do you think you are free
from the wrath of God? No!
The whole commandment as
summarised by Jesus christ is
two..love God and your
neighbour..
When you love God and your
neighbour,you will have no evil
against anyone in your
heart...LOVE SHOULD BE THE
CENTRAL MESSAGE OF EVERY
RELIGION...
I knew their are about 32 laws
guiding the way you maintain a
good table manner in islam
religion,but if i may ask how
many have you kept faithfuly?
that is just for table manner,not
even laws concerning going to
bed,talking,pra ying,working
virtualy in all endeavours of your
life islam has rules and
regulations...b ut can man ever
keep to such?
Cos to me if you disobeys one
you are guilty of failing all...
Keeping to Laws even the
constitution of a country is not
easy,talkless of trying to keep or
meeting up to God standards...
THE WHOLE TRUTH IS THIS TO SAY
YOU ARE UNDER GOD'S LAW IS
VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS,AND
YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE
PUNISHMENT IF CARE MAJORS ARE
NOT TAKING..BEING UNDER
LAW,MEANS SERIOUS DEDICATIONS
TO GOD ALWAYS...
BUT BEING UNDER GRACE,YOU ARE
SIMPLY TELLING GOD THAT YOU
CAN NOT DO IT ON YOUR
OWN,BUT WITH GOD
INTERVENTIONS.. ..
Laws made by man alone should
be possed to be obeyed by
man...but never request laws
from God,for you cant meet that
standard...
TO CONCLUDE,CHRIST IANS ARE
LIVING UNDER JESUS'S COVENANT
MADE ON THE CROSS OF
CALVARY,WERE HE SAID "ITS
FINISHED"
SINCE THEN {2015 years ago}
CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN RELIEVED
OF MOSAIC LAWS,WE ARE UNDER
JESUS COVENANT OF GRACE WHICH
WE BELIEVED IS THE ONLY TRUE
WAY TO TOTAL SALVATION..
Praise God!
