Are you following God’s laws or Man’s laws? If you are a believer, one of the 7000, then you should be following God’s laws above man’s laws.
Many Christians are living under man’s laws, decrees, statutes, and commands and not following God’s laws. It could be that some people believe that God’s laws don’t apply to governance and the people. I remember reading a book by Chuck Coulson and he recommended that Christians stay out of politics. I guess the idea of the separation of church and state was his premise for such a statement. I disagree with him, the laws of God apply to everyone and if used wisely it would be better for our society to be governed by these laws rather than man’s.
The united states of America was founded on God’s principles and values. It was the idea that Man could govern himself and we didn’t need a king to rule over us if we followed the principles and values of God. Not just any God, but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the Bible. The separation of church and state was meant to keep the government out of the church not the other way around. It is funny how the devil turns things around. He makes good evil and evil good.
So, in this series we are going to discuss the laws of man and the government in the context of the Bible. We are going to apply the biblical values to our lives and the laws that we are to live by. Should it be Man’s or God’s.
