Gen 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Abraham obeyed God's voice.
Abraham kept God's charge.
Abraham kept God's commandments.
Abraham kept God's statutes.
Abraham kept God's laws.
All that Abraham did BEFORE Moses became God's prophet. There were no written ten commandments and yet Abraham kept God's commandments. How is that possible? It's possible because God's commandments are as everlasting as He is, was, and ever will be. Seriously. Now before anyone gets all riled up think about it for a moment. Eve broke God's commandments, right? She had to or else she couldn't have sinned.
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
She sinned. She transgressed God's law. It wasn't written but it was known. And it goes beyond the direction God gave to Adam and Eve to not eat of the tree of knowledge.
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
We've already discussed it a bit- Eve coveted the fruit of the tree- it was pleasant to her eyes, she desired the wisdom she believed she could gain from consuming the fruit. She wanted more than she needed. In what Eve did, she broke some of those ten great commandments, the laws of God. If people don't recognize that then they are blind because it's truth. God's law were written down, but before they were written down they were known. We KNOW that God can do this…
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people
God can put His laws into the minds and hearts of people.
Where do you think God's law was in those He first created? Seriously? Think about it. We need to think about this because too many people believe that laws equates legalist and legalist are not those who believe in the love of God and salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Too many believe that keeping the law is something separate from the love of God and it is not!
It's really, really not.
More tomorrow by God's amazing grace!
Amen.
