Why are people so defiant of laws? What keeps you steadfast despite their defiance?
Has it really come to this, that we should have to talk about people who are disregarding the laws of the land? Unfortunately, yes, the majority of society around the world are now defying the existing authorities, with the accepted and established laws of the land. They are bent on changing laws so that it benefits what they want.
The apostle Peter warned of a time that this would happen, he even referred to it as the Last Days or the Day of Judgment. These law defying ones are the deceivers and the mockers of God’s ways. They seek out their own way of life and they behave according to their own secret desires as they try to lead people astray from God, his
laws, and ways.
2 Peter 3:17… Therefore beloved, knowing this beforehand, you beware, lest you should fall from your own steadfastness, having been led away by the error of the lawless ones.
What keeps you steadfast in the ways of God? Well by definition the word steadfast is someone who is loyal, resolute, or dutiful, firm, and unwavering in their resolve. So, what keeps us steadfast is our belief, knowledge, and understanding that God is not going to allow anything or anyone to disrupt his incoming Kingdom here upon the earth.
God’s Kingdom is all about the rulership over the earth and there are rules and regulations that we will have to live by. In the past God has told us what he expects from us.
Enoch was the first to understand that God governed the universe by means of his laws. Then there came Noah where he was told to eat no blood, to kill no man, to observe the seasonal feasts and then made a covenant with him. Abraham came next and God expanded his covenant and commandments. He began to draw a distinction between his people and the world around them. Next came Moses and he received the law of God for us, the 10 Commandments along with the festival or holy days. Lastly God sent his appointed King who came in the flesh as a man, and as his son. This Christ expressed the ways of God in ways that the people had never heard before. For better understanding of this subject look for The Teachings of Christ in this blog. The Teaching of Christ
The apostle Paul explained to the young Christian congregation that circumcision should not be a point to argue over. No, but the keeping of God’s commandments is what is important.
1 Corinthians 7:17-19…This is the overriding rule: everyone should conduct their lives as the Lord appointed, as God has called them. This is what I lay down in all the churches… what matters is keeping God’s commandments!
Do you believe that the law of God has ceased or ended? Do you believe that Christ did away with the law? Do you fail to understand that the law is a basic building block to be obedient to God overall? If you cannot be faithful in the least, how will you be faithful when more is given to you?
God used his very finger to pen 10 Commandments upon stone. He is promised to pen these very commandments upon your heart. So, it cannot be said that God’s law has been done away with because he writes his laws on the hearts of man. This is the basis of your obedience to him. If you truly believe that God’s laws are dead, then try breaking one of the 10 Commandments and see if there is any spiritual life left within you.
The very deceivers, mockers and rebellious ones have come to put you to the test. Look around and see have they not introduce the very ideology of behaving according to one’s own desires in the attempt to usurp and overturn the commandments of God.
Abortion goes against the very commandment that God gave to Noah about killing or taking a life from another. It will not go unpunished!
The reproductive organs have been miss-used and abused and worshiped to the point of turning men into women and women into men.
The law of God has been minimized to the point of being discredited, discounted and dismissed by Christians. Have you failed to teach your children the 10 Commandments like so many other parents?
The nation of Israel has suffered in the past for not celebrating the Sabbath day, Sabbath Years, or the Grand Jubilee. Do you sit back and imagine that God has changed his mind on the implementing of his laws and his holy days?
Humanity has disregarded the appointed land assignments given to Noah’s three sons and they are now suffering the consequences of the curse that was pronounced by Noah upon these disobedient ones. There will be no peace until there is a complying to the basic concept of accepting the will of God and following his commandments. The fact is that Gods Kingdom is now here! Open your eyes, mind, and ears.
Philippians 2:5-11… Think as Christ Jesus thought. 6 Jesus has always been as God is. But He did not hold to His rights as God. 7 He put aside everything that belonged to Him and made Himself the same as a servant who is owned by someone. He became human by being born as a man. 8 After He became a man, He gave up His important place and obeyed by dying on a cross. 9 Because of this, God lifted Jesus’ high above everything else. He gave Him a name that is greater than any other name. 10 So when the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow down before Him. 11 And every tongue will say Jesus Christ is Lord. Everyone will give honor to God the Father.
Humanity has disregarded the ways and commandments of God to the point where they have taken no note.
Jeremiah 4:22… For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are ‘wise’—in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.
Become wise learn by reading God’s words, observe his commandments and listen to Christ.
