I Am The Lord Your God (part 14)

God considers His laws serious and undefilable, although man has done just that many times. (Deuteronomy 17:1-13) God wants the purity of my heart because that purity and that purity alone makes my deeds pure. Judgments, rulings, laws by God are given such that I know what purity of heart is. God has after all appointed and anointed me as one of His priests (1 Peter) along with those He has also called to be Christian. God’s law is spotless. What I and others have to ensure is that with our legalism we do not spot God’s law, that we don’t allow politics to damage His Word and desires. For God’s heart is in those laws, God’s workings of the earth, the laws of nature conform to God’s laws because He made nature and the laws that govern nature. For example, God thinks marriage is serious, as He says in Deuteronomy 22:13-29, serious enough to say that one must consider carefully the person one has chosen to be married to, that there are things that may cause them to want to put them away but these must not be taken frivolously. I cannot just decide I do not want to be married anymore, not without evoking God. God considers marriage a contract with Him and me and my spouse. Neither my spouse nor I can break the contract without giving God a good reason. Just as woman was made for the man, man was made for the woman and God is in control of it all. (1 Corinthians 11:8-12)
