God's Merciful Course Correction

Sermonette by David F. Maas

O that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever! For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. I will imprint My laws upon their minds, even upon their innermost thoughts and understanding, and engrave them upon their hearts, effecting their regeneration. Our goal, aim, or purpose is to develop the mind, character, and wisdom of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, ardently keeping God's holy and spiritual law flawlessly, perpetually, and eternally. As we follow God's laws and commandments, we must bear in mind that we keep them to help us develop Christ's character, mind, and wisdom. We will all be schoolmasters in the Wonderful World tomorrow, teaching our clients God's holy and spiritual law full strength, from our permanent internal resources. There is no freedom apart from the law; there is no faith without works; there is no grace without the law; there is absolutely no righteousness apart from the law; there is no godly love apart from the law because the love of God is that we keep His commandments. God's holy and spiritual laws will be in force for eternity, long after the last fleshly human being has been sanctified and glorified, when we will all collectively own God's law as our own precious family property.

The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Ten)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God's Law is eternal and stands fast forever and ever, unshaken by any notion that it has been done away with. His commandments, as revealed in Psalm 111, endure without end, tied to a covenant that lasts eternally. This enduring covenant is not the Old Covenant, which has been declared obsolete, but the New Covenant, prophesied in Jeremiah 31 and confirmed in Hebrews 8, where God's laws are written on the hearts of those who enter into it. The fault of the Old Covenant lay not with God's Law, but with the people who would not keep its terms, as shown throughout the Old Testament record. God's Law remains integral to the New Covenant, as affirmed by Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 19, where He declares that eternal life is tied to keeping the commandments. Despite human tendencies to shift blame and claim the Law is too harsh or enslaving, God's Word reveals that He is fair, providing the means to overcome through His help, ensuring that His Law is not a burden but a path to transformation into His image. Thus, the New Covenant, superior in quality to the Old, upholds God's eternal Law, preparing us for a perfect union with Christ at His return.

The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Fourteen)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

God's law remains a vital component of the New Covenant, as it is to be written in our hearts through the work of Jesus Christ. This process requires obedience, forgiveness, the receipt of God's Spirit, Christ's intercession, and access to God's presence. The law is not merely a set of rules but an entire way of life that guides us in living righteously and preparing for Christ's return or our death. The notion that parts of God's Word are obsolete is a dangerous deception. God's law, in its entirety, is eternal and essential for our salvation and spiritual growth. Scripture declares that man shall live by every word of God, emphasizing that no part can be set aside without undermining the whole. The Old Testament, often dismissed by some, is filled with grace, faith, and examples of obedience and disobedience that are purposefully written for our learning and to deter sin. God's law, as revealed in both the Old and New Testaments, is perfect and complete, serving as a guide to conduct that converts the soul, restores, and heals. It is not merely a historical artifact but a living testimony of God's will, designed to illuminate our path and cleanse us from corruption. The law's statutes are fair and just, producing rejoicing in those who obey, while its commandments are pure, enlightening our eyes to walk without stumbling. Even in the end times, as foretold in Malachi, God calls His people to remember the law of Moses, underscoring its relevance for Christians. Jesus Himself affirms that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill its spiritual intent, connecting good works with law-keeping and righteousness. The law endures forever, teaching the same truths now as it will always, guiding us to holiness and preparing us to live and function in God's Kingdom.
