Lesson for May 25, 1958 THERE are three kinds of law in the Old Testament. Christians are sometimes confused about them because of not stopping to consider just what these kinds of law are. The Ten Commandments come first of all. They are the key to all the other laws. From that day to this —or for that matter. long before that time —all IT particular laws in human society, so far as they are gaL#,*; good, wil] be > seen to be particular cases JB or applications of MB 4B some one or an- Dr. Foreman other of the Ten Commahdments. These are universal they are God’s laws for all. they are still the baste pattern of right living. Second are the "statutes’’ as they are sometimes called, the special laws for ancient Israel embedded in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers an d Deuteronomy, in variosu legal codes. These are like the laws of any country or city that no longer exists. The law died when the country died. What is still living in the statutes is their principles, and these are as good as new. The third class of laws is the great mass of regulations governing the rituals and the sacrifices. These have no binding effect whatever today, because the Tabernacle and Temple are no more, and "Christ our Passover’* has been once and for all sacrificed for us. “ God’s Law No Barbed-Wire Fence _ What is said about the Law of God in Deuteronomy 6 and 11, not to mention elsewhere, supports three propositions. If we put each of these propositions negatively, It is because the opposite proposition is positive, but positively wrong. First it must be said, against a Chorus is no barbed-wire or any other sort of fence. It Is not a chain, handcuffs, nor a prison wall It does not repress, it releases. Note how often in these chapters, and in the Bible, God’s will and law are con- ’ nected with life. Religion has been called (falsely) a “set of scruples,” —that is to say, all that religion can do for a man is to make him dreadfully uncomfortable in the region of the conscience. That is not the idea of Deuteronomy. The law of God sets man free. It no more hinders him than a railway track hinders the train. God’s Law Not Superfluous Another proposition suggested by Deuteronomy is that the law of God is not superfluous. Some people think that because we live under grace, as Christians do, the law is not needed any more. A remark made by the great Saint Augustine is often quoted and enlarged on: Love God, said he, and then you can do as you please. Any act doiie out of love is right, therefore all you need is love, and the law will take care of itself. Now it is not true that all acts done from love are right. A good many really vicious things have been perpetrated in the name of God by men who loved God with all their might. There have been I some quite benevolent tyrants. The New Testament does not suggest that we have grown bgyond the law of God now that we know the new law of Love. Rather,., love shows us ways in which we may fulfill God’s laws. You will find | “Love God with all your heart" in Deuterdhomy (6:5) and “Love your is eTgti bo r as yourself’ in Leviticus (19:18). But no writer or user of the Old Testament has supposed that all the other laws but those two could be erased. God’s Law Not God’s Whim An important third point about the Law of God is suggested in these chapters from Deuteronomy It is the right answer to an old question: Could God have turned the Ten Commandments upside down, so to speak, if he had wanted to? Could be just as well have said. Thou shalt have others Gods before me . . . Thou shalt kill, thou shalt commit adultery, dishonor thy parents, lie and steal? Did he draw these laws, so to speak, out of a cloud, as tickets are drawn at a raffle? In short, are the laws of God arbitrary, a matter of divine caprice? Is all we can say about ‘‘right” and “wrong” only “He wants it that way, so shut upl”t Absolutely not. God made man, be made man in his own image. With man. and in man, God created and Implanted the laws of man’s existence. God’s will for man is rooted tn his love for us Ms children. (Baaed aa aailiaea aaayristited ky the .

* What Can I Do To Help The Church Rev. J. R. Meadows No doubt you often ask yourself the same question when reminded do something for your church. You can bring to Sunday School or worship service. You can call up someone over the phone and remind them of church services. You can pray for yourself, the pastor and individuals. You can call on some of the sick members and thus bring them cheer. You can introduce yourself to strangers at church. You can support the church in a financial way as the Lord has prospered you.
