Matthew 5:17-2017 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

In Part II, we will focus on honoring God’s Laws; realizing that we cannot and should not try and separate God’s Laws from His Grace. We are to honor God’s Laws and live under His Grace, in obedience to His commands. Why? Because God’s Law is perfect. It entails all that man needs to live a spiritual, righteous, and fruitful life. But yes, you guessed it, it is man who has twisted and turned it into something contrary to God’s will; man, who messed it up. And man will answer to YHWH, God, if he teaches the wrong message to those he has been given to teach. The demand to honor Gods Law came from Jesus’ instruction to us, to not think that He came to get rid of the Law or the Prophets but to fulfill it; nothing is to be changed, in and according to God’s Law, but all that is in it will be fulfilled due to His Son, our Saviour’s, birth, death, and resurrection. (Psalm 19:6-8 6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making the simple wise. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes).  

When God set down His Laws and issued His commandment, they were given to guide us, evaluate our every action and attitude; make known His moral character (one all of us should adopt), and principles and His desires for our lives. His Law adapts those of us who put our trust, belief, and faith in Him, with internal restraining orders; supernatural commands from God, through Jesus, which we are to obey, so that we will achieve a specific goal God has intended for our individual life. And it gives us the uncommon strength to obey the government of the land; it will show us when it is going against His Law and what to do accordingly. When it all comes to a head we know that you have been, is, and always will be in control. (Proverbs 16:9: A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Proverbs 19:21: There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand. Jeremiah 10:23: I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps).

To make it clearer to those who dare to commit to God and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour here are the extended explanation of what all, God’s Law entail. God’s Law is a guide for conduct, for how to live, and what is right and pleasing to God. God’s Law is His standard of evaluation for His children; He examines one’s actions, decisions, and motivations; what is good and right, for spiritual growth, moral integrity, and align with His will. And there may come a time when the direction you may be going is void of His will.  After YHWH’s process of determining which way, He wants us to go, He will step in to interrupt the journey we thought would be and change our path or direction to accomplish His purpose; putting us on a different path, which we may see nor understand at first. But as time progresses, we will be shown. God’s Law make His moral principles and His desires for our lives, which were previously unknow, known. God’s Law is there to help us live the best life we can by providing us with internal restraining orders; orders that follow God’s holy character. And through it all YHWH, God’s Law wants us to obey the government, God has allowed to be placed over us, as long as it doesn’t come in conflict or contradict His Law (Word, Yashuah, Jesus, Will, and Way. (Romans 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour).

So, stop thinking that you are exempt from God’s Law because you, I, or no one else are; God love us all the same. And unlike man, His set of rules and commandments, applies to everyone; rich, poor, and all that is in-between. We are all still subject to the Laws of God; as all were from the beginning. But because man refuse to honor the Law, God pulled that which He had already set in place, before time begin: Yashuah, Jesus: The Bearer of Grace; redeemer of salvation; Grace which is there to save us from ourselves; when we can’t seem to get in line with God’s Laws (we can’t just hear God’s Law but we must be doers of it). (Romans 2:11-13 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified). GOD’S GOT IT, NO WORRY NO FEAR.
