PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE MORAL LAWS (1)

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study

TOPIC: PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE MORAL LAWS (1)

TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 22:1-5 

SUNDAY OCTOBER 1ST

Key verse: Deuteronomy 22:1 “Thou shalt not see the brother's ox or his sheep go astray and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.” 
Question: Why does the Old Testament emphasize women not wearing trousers?
Answer: In the righteousness of faith, Christ is the end of the law and the commandments to those who believe. The righteousness of the law says every Israelite must obey these things if you must live, but the present righteousness is right in our hearts, the just shall live by faith in God. The present righteousness is not by keeping the law of Moses but by observing the principles of righteousness and as a result some details of the law that applied to Israel have been abolished. But the principles of righteousness that lived in the law continue because the law is written in our conscience. It is now in our hearts. Now we still must obey it in Christ because it will affect our morality. 
From our key verse, the bible says that he knows what to do and he does not do it, unto him it is sin. Again, the Lord summarized the scripture by saying that all that is required is love. If you know that this is your brother’s son, a babe, just a child of one and a half years that has left the house and is now found in the street. You know this person has missed the mother, this child has missed the father or whoever brought the child out and you leave the child there in the evening and darkness is coming. Will you say you are righteous? You are not righteous. 
The principle of this still holds in Christ, you are not righteous. If you did that, you have afflicted your neighbor. You do not love your neighbor as yourself. What if it has been your child? So, principle remains; is that ok? Which then makes it the moral law of love towards your neighbor. The emphasis is on your neighbor, the moral law continues. 

Thought for the day: Moral laws are not abolished but remain functional in Christ

Song for the day: Forever O Lord, Thy word is settled

Bible reading for the day: Isaiah 22-23; Ephesians 3

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
