    3 Questions on God’s Laws

    Where did God’s laws come from?
    What are God’s laws?
    How do we live God’s laws? 

    Question 1: Where did God’s law come from?

    Deuteronomy 5:1

    And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the rules that I speak in your hearing today, and you shall learn them and be careful to do them. 2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb. 6 “‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

    Deuteronomy 7:7 

    It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the Lord set his love on you and chose you, for you were the fewest of all peoples, 8 but it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 

    Question 2: What is God’s law?

    Deuteronomy 6:4

    “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.

    Mark 12:28 

    And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

    The 10 Commandments

    1   You shall have no other gods before me. (5:7)

    2   You shall not make for yourself a carved image. (5:8)

    3   You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (5:11)

    4   Observe the Sabbath day. (5:12)

    5.  Honor your father and your mother. (5:16)

    6   You shall not murder. (5:17)

    7   You shall not commit adultery. (5:18)

    8   You shall not steal. (5:19)

    9   You shall not bear false witness. (5:20)

    10 You shall not covet. (5:21)

    Question 3: How do I live God’s law?

    3 Types of Old Testament Laws

    1. Moral Laws (ex.The10 Commandments)
    2. Ceremonial Laws (ex. The Sacrifices)
    3. Civil Laws (ex. People, Possessions and Property)
    Matthew 5:17

    17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 

    Philippians 3:9

    "And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.”

    Hebrews 8:10

    I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 

    John 14:15

    If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. 

    Matthew 5:16

    In the same way, let your light shine before others, so thatthey may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
