The Kingdom of Heaven and the Law of God
Why is it people like to believe that the law of God is something to despise? The Pharisees, the priests, turned keeping God's law into something harsh, something that people began to believe needed to be superseded by something else. A deliverer would come and free them and put the law in their hearts. This putting of the laws in people hearts is just that, the same laws, not different ones, the same laws would be written on the peoples hearts.
When Christ preached and taught, He said this...
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Has heaven passed?
Has earth passed?
No and no.
Those laws of God still stand today, the moral ten commandments will stand forever because they reveal the love of God. And when all sin is gone, and heaven and earth have passed then all there will be is the love of God, the law which reveals the love will be a part of us, we will all have that law in our hearts. There will be no sin, it won't exist! And sin is the transgression of the law. Where there is no sin, no law to point out the sin is necessary. No law to keep, if no law is needed. The law exists where the law is needed and WE need the law. We need to know the love of our God who revealed that love in His law and then by revealing shows us where we've failed to live that love.
We KNOW that we cannot keep the law perfectly, that we need Christ our Savior and His righteousness, because our righteousness is non-existent. And while we know we can't keep the law perfectly, we know that we are compelled by our God to do all we can to live His love which is revealed in the law He's given to us.
Living God's love IS living God's law.
Jesus taught and preached about living His law in all this preaching and teaching!
Jesus said- 'Whosever therefore shall break ONE of these least commandments and shall teach men so- he shall be called the least, in the kingdom of heaven.
BUT
Whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. '
Do and teach what? The commandments.
Don't we see, don't we realize that each of those ten commandments is love, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!!!
And when anyone breaks a commandment they are not loving. Teaching others not to love and anyone who breaks the commandments and chooses not to love cannot be anything in heaven, they have to be the least in heaven because they choose not to love and God is love.
In the kingdom of heaven there is only love.
In the ten moral laws of God there is only love.
By His mercy and grace we will choose LOVE and in doing so, choose to teach and keep the commandments of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Please Lord, by YOUR love! All by your love!
