International Uniform Sunday School Lemons * Berlptnra: Acta IS: 1-29; Galatians D«v«Uonal Raadlngs Psalm 119:100112. • J Free Christians Lesson for June 14, 1953 ■ ————————■ H. WHEN Paul speaks of Ctiß-is-tians as "dead to the lauH’ or “free from the law” he is npt thinking of what we call the of the land. Paul wds very careful to observe the laws of his own Roman Empire, as well as all local laws. Furthermore, when Paul speaks of Christians’ freedom from

law he does not mean that a Christian can afford to turn his back on the Ten Commandments, though when he says “law” he is usually thinking about ihose, Tei)Commandments and all they involve. Let us see

what is meant by ® r - Foreman saying Christians are dead to • the law. j Law As A Curse /] Paul speaks more than onc4 of the “curse” of the law, as; for example in Gal. 3:l3—Christ Vxedeefned us from the curse of . the law, having become a cnrse“; for us.” Now it may seem bdd iand even perverse to think of law a ® a curse, especially a good |aw. And particularly the law of God; how can that possibly be a cutset To understand this we, have to think our way back into -Old Testament times. There were certainly some people, like the unknown poet who wrote the 119th Psalm, who loved the v Law and found joy in studying and keeping it. But every such qnan there must have been numberless others who found the law'just what Paul at one time in.his life had found: a sort of standing threat on God’s part. “Do this or else—•; don’t do that or else—,” Don’t we know people in our times who think of God as keeping a sort of record book full of black marks. — who think of God as keeping up with us Just in order to take down everything bad we say or do or ttyiik? A person who is not very conscientious may think gaily, “I’ll {gel oy;“ but a conscientious peqsoi who realizes what a high standard the law calls for, may live in terror lest God demand vengeanceifor every broken law, great or Now the Christian can breathe freely; he is free from such terrors because whatever curse there-gjiay be in the law, Christ has taken upon himself. ; • • • ■ Law As A Condition j ,\- Then the Christian is free the law as a condition of Gdd’s favor. “Whet) shall I be gpod enough for God to love me?" is a question no one ought to ask. The. Christian is one who has discovered that God’s love does not vyait for dur obedience, A mother' dbes not wait till her baby is old enb ughto understand her and obey her before she will love him. And even when he is old enough- tq understand, if he disobeys the may disapprove and punish him, but she will not stop loving hims If Cod had waited to love us till fwC were good enough to love, he wojuld be waiting yet. It is God’s gracious love that produces what goodness W 2 haye, not the other way arouhd. Doing what God wants done is Absolutely right ’ and we should |ry our best every day to do just tliat. But it is absurd to think that God’s love is like a thermometer that goes up and down with the , temperature of our obedience. We can’t earn our way into God’s jfavor. As we were noticing last week, the smite of God is not for sale. Law As A Cage Again, law for sorrite people Ik a kind of cage. Inside its narrow pattern they carefully live. They de what they must, what the law cqfnpels; but beyond that they will not go. They are only as good as they have to be. Now the Christian*.is free from the law as a cage, jiist as he is free from it as a curse, and as a condition. The Christian loves by faith, hope and love; and thpse take him clear beyond the limits bl law. \ A husband who does for his wjif« and family only what the law (requires will be a popr husband. A citizen who will do no more for his country and community than ju|t not to break any laws, is not the best type of citizen. A soldier who will not go beyond the line of will deserve no medals. A “Christian” who does no more than barely try to keep from breaking the Ten Commandments is never the high-level Christian. A Christian it free. He is law-abiding; but he dbki not live "under" law, he liyet under Grace. It is a differin’ atmosphere. ! j'' — Youth Fellowship 6:30, Virginia Mitchel, preaident. - Evening Service 7:80. 4 . , Prayer Service (Wednesday iijlQ Choir Rehearsal 8:15. jIJ ' 1
