PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE MORAL LAWS (1)

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

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will. Some of these revelations are written in books for all to read and some are shared verbally. There are scriptural facts to be understood on these revelation messages. They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
