God has always had a law against cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery.
Hosea 4:1-4
Hear the word of the Lord, O people of Israel!
The Lord has brought charges against you, saying:
“There is no faithfulness, no kindness,
no knowledge of God in your land.
2 You make vows and break them;
you kill and steal and commit adultery.
There is violence everywhere—
one murder after another.
3 That is why your land is in mourning,
and everyone is wasting away.
Even the wild animals, the birds of the sky,
and the fish of the sea are disappearing.
4 “Don’t point your finger at someone else
and try to pass the blame!
My complaint, you priests,
is with you.
Hosea 4:6-9
6 My people are being destroyed
because they don’t know me.
Since you priests refuse to know me,
I refuse to recognize you as my priests.
Since you have forgotten the laws of your God,
I will forget to bless your children.
7 The more priests there are,
the more they sin against me.
They have exchanged the glory of God
for the shame of idols.
8 “When the people bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed.
So the priests are glad when the people sin!
9 ‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’
So now I will punish both priests and people
for their wicked deeds.
Knowledge is Power. People are attracted to the wrong kind of power. Seek divine power in the Bible.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 That’s the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. 14 God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.
There is One Law. Solomon had made a mess of his life. He took reign over Israel at 17 years of age. Solomon came back to God after sacrificing children to idols and having 300 wifes that worshiped idols.
Moses obeyed God. He raised his cane and the Dead Sea departed. Forty years later, Israel was on the edge of the Promised Land of Canaan at the Jordan River.
James 2:10-12
For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws. 11 For the same God who said, “You must not commit adultery,” also said, “You must not murder.” So if you murder someone but do not commit adultery, you have still broken the law.
12 So whatever you say or whatever you do, remember that you will be judged by the law that sets you free.
The majority of Christian preachers are preaching that we Christians are under grace. The United States is the freest nation in the world but has more law than any other country. God’s Law gives us freedom and liberty.
Revelation 14:12
This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus.
If you are part of God’s people, you will have to endure persecution.
Revelation 12:17
And the dragon was angry at the woman and declared war against the rest of her children—all who keep God’s commandments and maintain their testimony for Jesus.
Exodus 20:1-17
Open your Bible and see these commandments for yourself!
This is the ten commandments of the Bible before one religion decided it has the authority to change certain words and times. These versuses in Exodus say the same thing in the New Testament. God’s Law has not changed. God says work six days, and only God can make something holy, not man.

Romans 3:31
Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.
Romans 3:20-23
20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.
Christ Took Our Punishment
21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago. 22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
God’s Law is like a mirror-Shows me my Sin-Gives me Grace.
