Your obedience to God’s law is imperfect
How are you able to obey God more perfectly?
No Christian man, woman, boy, or girl, no matter how humble or holy is able to keep the law of God. No one can keep God’s law in thought, word, or action, not even a born again Christian. You see, if you break one law, you are guilty of breaking all the others God says so. You see, the commands come as a whole, not as 10 different laws, and you must obey them as a whole. But man is too sinful to keep God’s law perfectly. And even when an act of obeying a law is outwardly good, the heart is never 100% in good spiritual position with the Lord to make it acceptable.
Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ: Think about the godliest men in the Bible how they sinned against God: Adam rebelled, Abraham endangered his wife, Moses murdered, Aaron led Israel into idolatry. David committed adultery, murdered, and failed to train his children, Solomon married many wives and worshipped idols, Peter denied Jesus, and Paul had more sins than he wanted to list. What’s the point in all this? Given the fact that Christian sin in heinous ways, you need to daily claim the righteousness of Christ – your covenant keeper. And rejoice and be glad that God counts his Son's righteousness. And listen to sound preaching, not preaching that will tickle your ears. Listen to it. Learn from it. Let others know about it. Love it. And ask for help to obey God’s law better. |
