THE DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  1 JOHN 3:4

(4)  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law;  for sin is the transgression of the law.

THE LAW!

By dictionary definition; the law is a system of rules, which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and which it may enforce, by the imposition of penalties. 

Therefore, regardless of where we choose to reside on earth, there are rules and regulations of nations, from governing authorities, even certain households, to guide behaviors of people, whether they believe in God, our Father, the laws of Moses or not;  God laid the foundation of the world with rules and regulations to live by peaceably with one another.;  whenever there is any critical situation happening in this world, let us search the scriptures for the answer;  it is all in there, waiting for us to apply it to the problem. 

Many times, we have heard that believers are no longer under the law of Moses, known as the schoolmaster, because of faith in Jesus Christ; cf. Galatians 3:24-25;  true, but;  if we live among the living, under any type of jurisdiction, there are rules and regulations to adhere to, that is similar to the laws of our Father, for the welfare of his children;  therefore, as we are not completely cut off from sin, the laws are applicable to us. 

For example,  it is written:  "Thou shalt not kill." cf. Exodus 20:13;  cautions us not to destroy lives, the question is;  can anyone deliberately murder and not be guilty of it?  I don't think so;  therefore, if we intentionally commit that which is abominable in the eyes of the LORD, we transgress within his systematic rules for the earth,  there is no doubt about this, the repercussion for sin is suffering that might end up in damnation. 

The good news is, Jesus Christ, died on the cross, shed his blood to pay for our past, present and future sins;  whenever we realized that we have committed an immoral act, it is necessary to repent, receive forgiveness and continue to enjoy the coverage of his blood grace.  "Father LORD, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one, for thou is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, forever and evermore."  Amen and Amen!

Grace and Peace be unto you!
