The Reading of the Law

If the reading of God's Law leaves you with the impression you can accomplish what God requires, it's either not really God's Law (but man's rules) or the Law has been diminished and not accurately represented. The Gospels reveal the extent to which one must obey... Every intent of the heart is measured, not just the behavior. If you hate your brother, you've done murder. If you lust, you've committed adultery. If you call your neighbor a fool, you're in danger of the judgment. Get it? Every thought, word, and deed must be in conformity to God's Law from the moment of conception to the grave or we're doomed. Friends and Family, we need a Savior, desperately. Where the Law crushes and kills, the Gospel reconciles and restores. Jesus says to those worn out from trying to gain God's favor, "Come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." Salvation is found in Him and Him alone. ~Marissa
