The Law of God the wonderful words of life Read : Psalms 19: 7-11.
The law of God is eternal and has always been. It did not begin with Moses; it did not end at the crucifixion of Jesus. It proceeds from the throne of God. The law of life was given to man from creation. Adam and Eve were given a commandment which they broke. Their sin placed within their flesh and the flesh of all of their offspring, the law of sin and death. The deeds of man became evil. Cain was the first murderer. He was judged because he knowingly broke the commandments of God. Man continued to sin, and became so evil that God destroyed them in a flood. What is sin? Sin is the transgression of the law. But up until that point Moses had not been born, and neither had the Ten Commandments been written on the two tables of stone. So how could God have judged them? Because they all knew who God was, and they all knew what his law was and they all new the wages of sin was death, but they disobeyed God anyway. After the flood, God chose one, Father Abraham to make a covenant with him. He blessed Abraham’s seed because Abraham obeyed his voice, kept his charge, his commandments, his statutes and his law. Genesis 26:4-5. From him came the Patriarchs, Isaac, and Jacob and the 12 sons of Israel. Throughout all of this time, God blessed the righteous and punished the wicked. What is sin? Sin is the transgression of the law. Yet Moses was not born, and neither had God written the Ten Commandments on two tables of stone. After 430 years in Egypt, the children of Israel finally became a great nation. In the third month after they came out of Egypt, the children of Israel came to Mt Sinai. Prior to receiving the law they had to be prepared and sanctified. This sanctification was physical for them and unfortunately did not change their hearts. They had to wash and be clean and the men could not have conjugal relations with their wives. The spiritual meaning of sanctification is symbolized by the baptism of water, which means to be born again and to put off sin and the lusts of the flesh. Israel of the flesh did not do this; shortly after Moses went up the Mt they utterly corrupted themselves. Therefore when Moses came down, the two tables of stone were broke in his anger, which prophesized of the breaking of the first covenant. And those Ten Commandments have been broken ever since, by every proceeding generation. What did they do? They sinned. Sin is the transgression of the law. Moses had to return to the Mountain again and a second time remain for forty days and forty nights in the presence of God, until he was covered with God's glory, and received again the words of the law and another two tables of stone. This prophesized that after the first covenant was broken, a second covenant would have to be made with God's people. Under the first covenant Israel was required to do many difficult things, many sacrifices of animals, and washings and sprinkling of blood and water. The priest hood was established with the sons of Aaron and anyone who was not a priest could not approach the Most Holy Place. This was necessary because the physical presence and the power of God were with them and his angel walked among them. Therefore they had to be sanctified, separated not only from evil, but from all things common or unclean. A strict
