Today we are looking at the backbone of God's Word the Bible. That backbone is the Law. God explains His Law as being the teaching, or rules, or directions of the Divine Teacher.
In the Old Testament, we see God giving His Law. The word in Hebrew for the law is a word many of us have heard, it's the word Torah. Torah means the teachings of a teacher. When used of God's Law it means that God came as the Divine Teacher, and gives His Divine Teaching.
Because God is Eternal, All-Powerful, All-Knowing, and All-Wise: His teaching is unlike any other.
The Divine Teacher Speaks
God's Law (or teaching) once and for all, perfectly delineates what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad. The order comes from rules, laws, standards, and fixed points. God says that for life to be right His rules must be kept.
What is right and what is wrong?
Is there any way to determine right and wrong?
The Simple Answer to Everything
Today we look at the core of all that we hold onto as believers. The foundation of everything is that God is True, that He has given Truth, and that we hold the special revelation of God's Truth in written form in God's Word the Bible.
God has revealed Himself in nature, but most powerfully in His Word.
God's Word is offered as the only final answer for all of life's questions, problems, needs, challenges, sorrows, and disasters. The simplest test of truth is the determination of right and wrong.
Everything comes down to right and wrong.
So, What is right and what is wrong? Think about how simple and how profound is the answer to this question:
How Are Right & Wrong Determined?
