God’s laws

It is never more evident that if you believe in god that you have to obey his laws. The Ten Commandments are examples and representative of God’s laws. No matter how long our earthly life shall be, we must obey his laws. Usually man associates long life with obeying God’s laws. This may be true or may not be true. The reality is his word is law.

We pray that following his laws might bring us godly success in life. There is no more stronger laws than his commandments, which expressed god’s love for his children and followers.

Any one of the commandments no matter how difficult to follow have been draped in God’s love. There is no wrong in following his laws at all. Our inability to follow His laws show how deep the devil is present in our everyday lives. God knows how sinful and weak our flesh is. But that fact alone does not excuse our sinfullness. We have the ability to love his word and laws just as we have the ability to disobey his laws. We, alone and only. we have the strength to obey no matter what evil exists. The purpose of God’s laws are to follow them, so we may have a godly and fulfilling life. Our lives are empty without God’s laws.
