The Law
Ray Evans • January 1, 2020
A lot of Pastors, Priests and Biblical Scholars say we are no longer under "the Law;" but Jesus said he did not come to do away with the law, so whom do you believe?
True, the "Law" can't "save" you, but life and blessing come from obedience, not belief.
God gave us commandments and statutes for living a happy, healthy, wealthy life; He said, "walk in my ways and obey my voice, and you will have life." He set before you life and blessing, death and cursing; he hopes you choose life, but it's your choice.
Think about it, you get to choose the kind of life you want...blessed or cursed. So stop complaining if your life is not all you want it to be. You chose it willingly, maybe not knowingly; but how you live your life matters…now and for eternity.
Walking in disobedience to God is the sure way to a miserable life. Do you really think God wants a bunch of disobedient, law-breaking people in his kingdom?
Jesus said, "If you love me, keep my commandments;" if you don't keep the commandments, you don't really love Jesus...and if you don't love the Son of God, why would you think God would love you?
Yes, God is love; but by his own admission, God is a jealous God. (Exodus 20:5)
Keeping the commandments won't get you into heaven, but they will keep your life from becoming a living hell.
Why do people lie, cheat and steal, or worse?
They just don't believe God is real.
Oh, they hope he's real, but they don't know, without a doubt, that God is real.
They have bought into the myths, lies and misconceptions coming from the pulpit that God loves everyone, and everyone will be saved.
Trust me, nowhere in scripture does it say "God loves the sinner, but hates the sin."
God loves them that love him (Proverbs 8:17) and those that love him, keep the commandments (John 14:21)
It's not about keeping the "law;" it's about having respect for God.
You can't, you won't, until you know God is real.
God is Spirit; so you won't know God is real until you have been reborn Spiritually; which is why Jesus said, "Ye must be born again." (John 3:7)
You see, until you are reborn Spiritually, until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"
