THE ROYAL OR SOVEREIGN LAW OF GOD
Some of our friends have been drinking Love Potion Number Nine, cause the kind of Love their selling is sure not from the Holy Ghost! Love may be kind, but its not totally blind, it may be forgiving, but its not misleading! May the Lord open their eyes before they mess up some people’s lives with their poisonous potion of delusion.
Liberty is not the Legalism some suppose, but Liberty is not Carnal License to Sin! So many take the sovereign law of God for granted. They just want to quote all the promises and privileges without practicing the principles or protocols. Anytime a law is given or the mention of a law; there is a legal implication and a responsible obligation to fulfill its mandate and legal ramifications for disobedience.
(8) If you fulfill the royal Law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
(9) But if you have respect to persons, you commit sin and are convicted by the Law as transgressors.
(10) For whoever shall keep the whole Law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
(11) For He who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." But if you do not commit adultery, yet if you murder, you have become a transgressor of the Law.
(12) So speak and do as those who shall be judged by the Law of liberty.
(13) For he who has shown no mercy shall have judgment without mercy, and mercy exults over judgment.
James 2:8-13 MKJV
Love and Law are synonymous because the perfect law of liberty is the perfect law of love which is the perfect legalism that does not permit licentiousness, lewdness, or lasciviousness which are counterfeit forms of love; but are widely accepted as the norm in our perverse and crooked generation. Adultery, Fornication, Homosexuality, Transgender, and Pornography are acceptable in our present society, and many of those who are the worse offenders are exalted the most for these immoral acts, and the sad fact is that things are trending worse in this arena of so-called sexual revolution, in this age where people are now identified by their sexual preference instead of the anatomy they were born with. True Love is the Agape of God which is Divine in nature and expressed by chastity and purity of heart.
(22) But prove yourselves obedient to the Message, and do not be mere hearers of it, imposing a delusion upon yourselves.
(23) For if any one listens but does not obey, he is like a man who carefully looks at his own face in a mirror.
(24) Although he has looked carefully at himself, he goes away, and has immediately forgotten the sort of man he is.
(25) But he who looks closely into the perfect Law--the Law of freedom--and continues looking, he, being not a hearer who forgets, but an obedient doer, will as the result of his obedience be blessed.
James 1:22-25 WNT
Some people don’t understand the love of God, which is linked to the law of God and the protections that it affords those whom adhere to and apply in their lives. Sin is destructive by its very nature, the first time sin occurred was due to pride and self exaltation in God’s spiritual domain which we call heaven. Then the first willful transgression on earth happened in the garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit which God by direct commandment denied them access. Sin caused the loss of innocence and the impartation of rebellion and self exaltation in mankind , proving the acquisition of all knowledge is not always the best for us.
If I only read one chapter in the bible that highlights love, without consulting the whole of scripture in a topical study of that subject, and I only ascribe that one chapter on the subject of love to every circumstance and relationship, I will most assuredly find myself in a painful situation wondering why I am there. Why? Because with God there will be a balance of practical wisdom when applying anything to life in the physical realm. God is Love and to receive God is to be filled with that love, but at the same time God is many other things which flow out of that love. For instance, God who is Love chastens or disciplines those he loves. He rebukes, reproves, and reprimands those he loves when they get out of his order.
Brethren keep the faith today by praying for a love that is full of wisdom, and love that is not naïve or gullible, but a love that can be firm when firmness is needed, a love that can be compassionate when compassion is needed, a love that can be honest when honesty is essential. But also a love that can minister to the hurting soul that is messed up by the sinful delusions of this world, one that can look pass what’s manifesting on the outside to minister to the hurts on the inside, and the faith will keep the love of Christ burning as a torch of change not only in your heart, but also light the paths of others to change the direction they are going.
