THE LAW OF THE LAMB

On Mount Sinai the Lord God gave the law. Included in the moral and civil law was the law of sacrifice (Lev 6:9.)

Yet, over 400 years before, after Abraham had told the two young men to stay back as he and Isaac went up to worship, Isaac knew that in order to approach the Lord God they must have a lamb (Gen. 22: 5-8.) Even before those days, Abel was accepted of God because he approached the Lord in the blood of a lamb (Gen. 4:4.) In the beginning, instead of slaying Adam and Eve in their sin, the Lord made coats of skins and he covered their nakedness by slaying an innocent lamb (Gen. 3:21.)

This was the rule of life written in the heart of those believers before the law of Mount Sinai was given. It is the same law that has governed the life of the believer since the law of Mount Sinai was given. When God writes, the word of his covenant with Christ, in the heart of a Spirit-born sinner, it is the "Yea, and Amen Promise" of perfect righteousness and acceptance with God in the person and finished work of God's Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Cor 1: 20; Gal 3:17.)

The law given on Mount Sinai did not cause obedience in sinners, never has, and never was intended to (Rom 3:20; 5:20; 1 Tim 1:9.) But this law constrains, motivates, is the end for which all other law was given, and is in itself the very love of God shed abroad in the believer's heart. (2 Cor 5:14; SOS 8:6, 7; Rom 10:4.) This law is the rule of a believer's life. It is the law of the Lamb (I Cor 9:21.)
