I was sitting in a lecture tday and listening/thinking through what the lecturer said about "what do we think about law?" and "what do u think law means??" It reminds me to all the law we have in the bible... i didnt know why was that in my head but it was a good reminder as i meditated on it that as christians we are not obeying the laws to earn our spot in heaven. We are actually obeying it because we were transformed to be a good person that longs for God and want to be like Jesus and thus using jesus as a model to shape our changing behaviour.
Romans 6: 1-14 explains that we were dead through sin but made alive through Christ. And we were dead through sin because we were sinning against God which can be said in another word we're doing bad things in God's eyes. Since God loves us he sent his one and only son to died in our place as John 3:16 said. As we are alive in Christ, why do we wanna do bad things again that will lead us to death??? its like being saved from a car accident because we were speeding but then moments later after we found ourselves save we were speeding again which would eventually lead us to a car accident...
does this sound familiar???
" i dont wanna be a christian becoz that means im signing up to all these christians regulations"
" being a christian means u have to be holy becoz u cant do this and that because if not then u're not a christian!!!"
being good all the time is definitely hard especially there are heaps of temptations around us but lets keep persevering in it and keep encouraging one another to do so too. let us enjoy too having have to obey God's law knowing that it will glorify our creator's name plus benefit us in the end.
" The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lod are trustworthy, making wise the simple."
psalm 19:7
