"The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever." (Psalm 119:160 NKJV)
God's Word--all of it--from beginning to end is the truth
and the truth that must be understood is that each time God spoke to
people, He had a specific reason for saying what He said--to those who
He was talking, during the time, He was speaking to them.
His decrees, judgments--whatever someone wants to call them--have enduring power and since they do not change, they will be the same as from the beginning until the end.
Jesus--God in the flesh--came to fulfill The Law--of sacrifice for repentance of sin. He did not come to change what God has
said and He said, that He could only say what the Father said. Now, we
need to see this very clearly. If we believe that God came to earth in
the "likeness of sinful flesh" then we would have to understand that
since He established His Word, He would not change it--simply because of a change in appearance.
How
does Jesus fulfill The Law--by becoming the ultimate sacrifice for the
remission of sin. There is no longer any reason for "sacrifices of
animals or grain" to be made. The only thing that He expects from us is
to fulfill the commandments of Love--Loving Him with all our hearts,
souls, and minds, and Loving one another as we love ourselves.
When
we love Him--we will obey Him. When we love others--we will not cause
them harm; especially if we know how to love ourselves. The love that is referenced in the Bible is not lust and we know that lust is the reason that people sin against God;
their fleshly dictates overrule any desire to please God. For The Word
has said, we cannot serve two masters--God of heaven and the god of the
this world. Either we function in the spirit or in the flesh. We either
do what God says or allow man to manipulate what we do. It is an
"either" "or" proposition--submit to God or submit to man.
I choose to submit my ways and thoughts to God so I can receive the benefits and results that God has chosen.
When we learn to make a distinction between love and lust, affiliation with religion and relationship with God,
we will hopefully see the need to have a relationship with God rather
than affiliation with religion and then--only then--will we see a change
in the environment with weather patterns, violence, and unrest, as we
return to enjoying the "peace of God" on a daily basis. His peace, surpasses all understanding--is greater than all of man's wisdom. For if we claim to have wisdom and is not the wisdom of God, we actually have nothing.
This is a Truth--based upon God's Word--that will endure forever!
