mGod's Law is holy - high from every kind of Laws, which exists, and is revealed the limits of right and the iniquity by it. The human being sees by the Law who is God and who is he and ruling holy position in Heaven's Kingdom. Though with Law the human being understands his being guilty and lost position, but isn't saved by it, but perceives need of Lord Jesus Savior’s assistance. And with Lord Jesus saved people must walk in the right staying a long way from the iniquity.


m We shall investigate this theme with three parts.

m1. LAW’S PURPOSE/ITS ROLE AND IMPORTANCE

m2. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW

m3. THE QUESTION TO OBEY TO THE LAW

mmmmmmmmmm1. LAW’S PURPOSE/ITS ROLE AND IMPORTANCE

mFirst let's know that our theme concerns to the Law of God, and the Lord himself is Lawgiver. Isa.33:22; Jas.4:12;
mIn the theme “Sin” we concern it anyway with what purpose was given Law, but now we shall deeper investigate that for what purpose the Law was given to.
mIn this part we shall touch with four sub-sections.

mA. THE LAW IS FOR RECOGNIZING THE RIGHT AND THE INIQUITY

mB. THE LAW WAS GIVEN IN ORDER THE HUMAN BEING CAN RECOGNIZE HIMSELF AND WHO IS GOD

mC. THE LAW SMOOTHED ROAD TOWARDS CHRIST

mD. IT IS SHOWN THE BEHAVIOUR OF HEAVEN KINGDOM’S INHABITANTS BY LAW

mmmmmmmA. THE LAW IS FOR RECOGNIZING THE RIGHT AND THE INIQUITY
mThe Law was given in order the human being could recognize the right and the iniquity, the righteousness and injustice. Without Law the human being wouldn't recognize the line of limit of the right and the iniquity. If he would be able to understand the right and the iniquity without Law, there was no need that God found out the right's limit with Law. The Law was given because of human being's ignorance. 1Tim.1:8-10; The Law, is like an equipment, which reveals the reality.
mGod gave the Law, in order to protect His right, the right of the people, and the right of the other creatures. We don't mean that with Law's revelation the human being will escape from the iniquity. No, but, in order that right and the iniquity is revealed. It was the recognition of iniquity - sin with Law. Therefore, who is treating with iniquity, with God, people and all creatures he breaks God's Law - he sins. So God will halt the sinner ahead of responsibility. Rom.3:20; 7:7; 1John.3:4; 5:17;
mGod's Law in his nature is holy - pure and spotless, and with its essence and position separates and differs from other Laws. Ps.19:7; 119:142; Rom.7:12;

mThere is a great difference between God's and human being's Laws. There are a lot of Laws in the world, which are not for right's protection, but they are for some persons benefit, how the Lord rebukes saying in Isa.10:1; ”Woe to those who make unjust Laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees”. It shows that there are unjust of roles and Laws in the world, which are being convicted by God.

mmmmmmmmmmmB. THE LAW WAS GIVEN IN ORDER THE HUMAN
mmmmmmmmm..mBEING CAN RECOGNIZE HIMSELF AND WHO IS GOD

mLaw's commandments show God's mentality and sentences, which are holy and kind. We already know what is the right and the iniquity. Therefore, it is being revealed that God is holy with Law, He is God of right – He doesn’t approve and accept iniquity. It is also being revealed with Law, that the human being is injurious, guilty and sentenced. 2Chr.34:14-33; Rom.3:9-20;
mThere was sin in the world before the Law - the human being was guilty, and the sin was leaving its consequence without the Law, but with Law's commandment sin's existence and effect became clear. Rom.5:13,14;

mmmmmmmmmmC. THE LAW SMOOTHED ROAD TOWARDS CHRIST
mAs we see the human being is sinful by nature, and unable - can't keep himself in the position of God's eagerness, which criterion is Law. With Law the human being was revealed that he is convict and need Saviour. Deut.27:26; Gal.3:10; Saviour who is pure according God’s Law and Who can take from us the curse and the denunciation and pay our debts. So, in order God can give grace to the human being, He gave the Law and with criterion of Law, it was evidently Christ is the only Saviour. Gal.3:10-14,23,24;
mIf someone can keep the Law, he will be paid, but which was given by the grace is donation. Doing the Law the human being can get payment, but because of his sinful nature he is unable to do the holy Law, therefore he is deprived of the payment and stands before the sentence. But Christ with His grace presents forgiveness and salvation to the human being who came to him, because he paid the demand of the Law and took the salvation and sentence in his hand. Rev.,Apoc.1:18;


mmmD. BY LAW IT IS SHOWN THE BEHAVIOUR OF HEAVEN KINGDOM'S INHABITANTS
mAs it was shown by the Law that God is holy and righteous, and his demand is the same, therefore the inhabitants who will be in heaven kingdom will have holy and pure behaviour: they will never get into the crime, unpleasant and sin. Heb.8:10; Rev.,Apoc.21:27; 22:4,5;


2. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AND
THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW

mThere were other commandments except Ten Commandments in the Old Covenant connected with the liturgies and sacrifices, there isn't need in them today, because everything was concluded by Christ. For ex., It is written in Exod.34:23,24;
m”Three times a year every male must go ahead Lord - to the chosen place – Jerusalem, but there is no need in the New Covenant, because that liturgies and sacrifices were determined till the direction – the time of the new sequence's confirmation, which was put by Christ. Heb.7:12; 9:6-14; 10:8-10; But out of the liturgies, those commandments of the Law which concern to the right, are acting also today and are being concluded with further two commandments. ”Love the Lord your God with all your essence, and love your friend as yourself„. All the rest commandments are taken in these two commandments. Exod.23:17; Deut.24:17; Matt.22:35-40; Rom.13:8-10;

3. THE QUESTION TO OBEY TO THE LAW

mGod's Law is called the Law of love and Kingdom, because this Law is from King of Kings and it acts forever, because the right and the righteousness will stay forever. Matt.22:37-40; Rom.13:8-10; Jas.2:8;
mAnd now we shall explain the Ten Commandment's - Law with the meaning, which shows the right and the iniquity. Mic.6:8; And we shall confirm each commandment of the Ten Commandments with testimonies of the New Testament.

mExod.20:3-17;

m1."3You shall have no other gods before me". Matt.4:10;
mExplanation: In the reality the only true God is God of the Holy Bible, besides him there is no other God. But if someone besides this God will recognize and accept another one as God, he breaks God's right, putting God's name onto no gods. Who does it makes hard sin, but the payment of sin is the death. Deut.6:14,15; 2 Chr.15:3,4; 1Cor.8:5,6;

m Rev.,Apoc.21:8;
mExplanation: There are some people, who accept, that God as an only God, but they also accept that besides God is allowed to worship something else. 2. "4You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments".This deed is similar further: as if someone takes worm and give his parents' honour to the worm and even the worse. The worship belongs only to the God, and if this honour is given to another one, it is the break of God’s right. Therefore, it is made hard sin, but the payment of sin is the death. Rom.1:18-25; Eph.5:5;

m3. 7You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name”.
mExplanation: In the mention of God's name is discovered in various circumstances. Let's point some of them!

mA. IN THE OATH: Lev.6:1-4; 19:12; Num.30:2;
mBefore Christ, if someone swore in the name of the Lord, first of all the word hadn’t to untruthful and had to be done the word which had been told at the moment of oath, otherwise God's holy name is ignored - has been touched in vain. Therefore, has been made hard sin but sin’s payment is the death.
And Lord Jesus has ordered never to swear. Matt.5:34,35;

mB. MISTAKE IN THE PROPHECY AND STUDIES:
mIf any studies and prophecy presents in the name of God, and actually God hasn't given that word, in this case God's name is remembered in vain, because it is made slander: the word ascribes to God, which He didn’t say. In this case it is break of the right, therefore is made hard sin, but payment of the sin is the death. Jer.23:16,17; Mark.7:6-9; 2Pet.2:1-3;

mC. IN THE MOCKERY AND CLOWNERY:
mFrequently people use God's and Lord Jesus Christ's name and words in the mockery and clownery. The Satan knows that because of it the human being will fall down under the death's sentence, therefore he prompts people to that (how he prompted Eva to such acting, by which she brought a death sentence to her). If someone uses God's name in the mockery and clownery, he makes hard sin, but payment of the sin is the death. 2Chr.36:15-17; Gal.6:7,8; Eph.5:4; Jude18;

mD. NOT LIVING AND TALKING ABOUT THE LORD IN ACCORDANCE WITH LORD'S COMMANDMENT:
mIf the human being doesn't want to live in accordance with God's commandment but speaks about the Lord, such action God also considers God's name in vain. Ps.50:16-22; Prov.30:9; Jas.3:9; This action is also hard sin and the payment of the sin.
mThere are other cases also, when God's name is mentioned in vain, but God give us wisdom not to make this sin.

m4. "8Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. 11For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy".
mExplanation: The first three commandments of Ten Commandments are protecting God's right, but from the fifth to the tenth - is the human being's right. But the 4th commandment, where is protected either God's or human being's right. First of all the human being is obliged to pay time to remember God's works and to worship him, (though the Scripture says that it is possible that someone could give much time to the pointed work than one day of week). The man is also demanded to behave to himself as to others by right. As the murders and suicides are sin before God, the human being hasn't right to torment himself and the others - not giving a rest as well. Exod.23:12; Otherwise, it - breaks of the right - is made sin, but payment of the sin is the death. But above to the day of Saturday, God put a day in the week, in order people to work together with order and have a rest in Sabbath. Mark.2:27,28; The Sabbath is also counsel and symbol for the future rest of God's people. Exod.31:13,17; Heb.4:7-10;

m5. "12Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you". Eph.6:1,2;
mExplanation: Regardless of parents’ treatment and service offsprings are obliged to serve and honour their parents in the same way, as the parents are obliged to take care of their offsprings to although the circumstances, that the offspring is dependents on parents with his cares for a long time. And if the offsprings didn’t give parental honour and service to their parents, in that case are breaking parents' right. Therefore, they did iniquity, but the payment of the iniquity – sin is the death.


m6. "13You shall not murder".
mExplanation: The human being is created with God's image, and nobody was given the right to ignore and spoil Creator’s image and deprive him of God's given life. Gen.9:6; As well the human being hasn't right to spoil his life in any case, because everybody's life comes from him, is for him, and stays through him. Acts.17:25; Rom.11:36;
mThis commandment's infringement is iniquity, therefore, is sin and payment of the sin is the death. Rev.,Apoc.21:8;
In the Old Testament we meet to the facts, where God's man has committed murder with God's order and hasn't been blamed, because they have fulfilled God's righteous sentence, and not their will. Deut.21:18-21;
mAnd in the New Testament God has taken from his followers murder sentence, and even the hate and vain indignation is considered murder. Matt.5:21,22; 1John.3:15;


m7. "14You shall not commit adultery". Heb.13:4;
mExplanation: God's righteousness allows the human being has marital relation only with his legal marital friend, but illegal accompaniment is an iniquity. Therefore, it is a sin but payment of the sin is the death. Matt.5:27,28; Rev.,Apoc.21:8;


m8. "15You shall not steal". Eph.4:28;
mExplanation: What is taken without right is sin, but payment of the sin is the death. 1Cor.6:9-11;

m9. "16You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor". Ps.101:7;
mExplanation: What is lie, it isn't true and injustice - is iniquity. Therefore, it is sin and payment of the sin is the death. Rev.,Apoc.21:8;

m10. "17You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor". Luke.12:15; Col.3:5,6;
mExplanation: Don't have the thing which doesn't belong to you (even in your mind). The word isn't about the thing that the human being can't plan to have anything. For example, house, car, plot and so on. The human being hasn't right to desire all the things which have already belonged to another one. Perhaps, someone will wish to have in legal way the things which has got his friend, but not the thing which is already his friend's property. The human being what has got in illegal way, (even in his heart), that deed is a sin, and payment of the sin is the death.


mQuestion - Should we obey to the Law or not?

mThe Law reveals that the human being can't be justified, saved and blessed with his acts. But now we have been justified complimentary by God, have been saved and are blessed through Lord Jesus Christ, therefore, we'll do the Law to stay away from an iniquity and with God's grace we can even do, because we are borne from his nature, we are borne anew. Heb.8:7-13; 1John.5:3,4;
m2Tim.2:19; "19Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness".
mTit.2:11-14; "11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope – the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good".
mTherefore, we mustn't do Lawlessness - mustn't break the Law. Which point of Law we break it means to do deprivation. Therefore, curse would come upon us, but Lord Jesus takes that curse through his cross's act, if we surrender him. Gal.3:10-12;


mConclusion: God's Law is holy - high from every kind of Laws, which exists, and is revealed the limits of right and the iniquity by it. The human being sees by the Law who is God and who is he and ruling holy position in Heaven's Kingdom. Though with Law the human being understands his being guilty and lost position, but isn't saved by it, but perceives need of Lord Jesus Savior’s assistance. And with Lord Jesus saved people must walk in the right staying a long way from the iniquity.
