GOD GIVES HIS LAW TO US By Eguriase S. M. Okaka Meaning of the term ‘Law’ A law is a rule made to guide and direct people’s behavior in a country or society. It is a rule and regulation that is meant to guide human activities. A law is also a rule or set of rules for good behavior which is considered right and important by many people for moral, religious, or emotion reasons. Families, Schools and Churches have rules to keep everyone safe and to take care of people. Countries, States and Cities also have rules to protect the people. In the Bile, laws are made up of religious and moral laws. The law states how people should behave in certain situations. That is, to control the behavior of people in a society so that everyone goes about his or her work in peace. Reasons for the Law Some of the reasons for the laws are: • It helps us to know what we should do and should not do, and how to behave well. • To bring about peace and order in the home, school and in the community. • To prevent violence which can lead to murder, rape, torture, etc. • To protect people and properties. • For progress and development in the country. • To make sure that everybody is treated equally. • To avoid or settle disputes, (disagreement, quarrel). • The law encourages people to do the right thing. • To reward those who keep the law and punish the offenders. That will make others not to commit such an offence. • Help us to be law-abiding citizens. • To check our behavior. • To discipline us and make us live a disciplined life. • To make us live long. RECITATION OF THE PROVERBS 3:1 – 4 ‘My Son, do not forget my teachings, but let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of life and abundant welfare will they give you. Let not loyalty and faithfulness forsakes you; bind them about your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart, so that you will find favor and good repute, in the sight of God and man. PURSPOSES OF THE LAW Laws are made to regulate conduct and maintain order in the society. The law is for everybody to obey so that we can have goodness and mercies around us all the days of our lives. A society without law is a lawless and a disorder society. God is a God of order that is why He gave us laws to follow that we might be orderly too. The main purpose of the law is as follow: • To regulate the relationship between God and His people. • To teach the Israelites and others more about God. • To bring about harmony, unity and peace in the society. • The commandments show the people, the need to repent and turn to God. • To make our lives better, God loves us so much that he does not want us to destroy ourselves by ignoring his moral laws. • To regulate the people’s behavior and relationship with God and with one another. • To help us know our duties to God and our fellow human beings. • To find favor in the sight of God. • To lead us on the right path and not to go against God. • To make us to obey God forever. God gave Moses the law to give his people on Mount Sinai. The law is known as the Ten Commandments or the Decalogue. That is available in this site. Eguria.blogspot.com
