God Gives Us His Law and Makes Us Keep It Diligently ㅡ
“Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
In love, with a desire to elevate and ennoble us, God provided for us a standard of obedience.
In awful majesty, amid thundering and lightning, He proclaimed from Mount Sinai His ten holy precepts.
This law reveals the whole duty of the human family; the first four precepts define our duty to God, and the last six our duty to man.
Through Satan’s temptations the whole human race have become transgressors of God’s law; but by the sacrifice of His Son a way is opened whereby they may return to God.
Through the grace of Christ they may be enabled to render obedience to the Father’s law.
When we trust God fully, when we rely upon the merits of Jesus as a sin-pardoning Saviour, we shall receive all the help that we can desire.
