What is the real
purpose of the law?

"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin."
“Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law

“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay,
I had not known sin,
but by the law:
for I had not known lust,
except the law had said,
Thou shalt not covet.”
The African �chief
And the mirror
By what law
will we be judged in the final judgment?
James 2:10-12
"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.
Now if thou commit no adultery,
yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.”
WHAT WAS JESUS' ATTITUDE REGARDING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
Who wrote the law on Mount Sinai: the Father or the Son?
Nehemiah 9:12-13
“Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments.”
1 Corinthians 10:1- 4
“Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”
What did the prophecies say about Christ‘s attitude toward the law?
Psalm 40:7, 8
“Then said I, Lo, �I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea,
thy law is within my heart.”
Isaiah 42: 21
"The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.”
How did Jesus emphasize the eternal nature of the law?
What would happen first?
Luke 16:17
" And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.."
What do we prove by obeying God?
John 14:15, 21
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”
What did Jesus answer the rich young man when he asked what he should do to inherit eternal life?
Matthew 19:16-19
"And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
Who will be greatly disappointed in Day of Judgment?
Matthew 7:21-23
"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
But is it possible to keep the law of God?
Romans 8:5-8
“For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.”
1 John 5:2-3
"By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
How can we identify a true Christian?
1 John 2:3-6
"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.”
CONCLUSION
What promise did God give those who keep His commandments?
Deuteronomy 5:29
"O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me,
and keep all my
commandments always,
that it might be
well with them,
and with their
children for ever!
Psalm 119:165
"Great peace have they which love thy law:
and nothing shall offend them."

Thank you Lord, for your Perfect Program!
The next topic: �"Ten minus one equals zero"
It cannot be! In school we learned that 10 - 1 = 9, but God says that 10 - 1 = 0. Has exact science become inaccurate? No. It is mathematics in another dimension.
This topic will show the key to living with prosperity, peace and be able to enjoy the blessings of God throughout each day, as opposed to religion, at settlement price. We will see in the divine principles teachings that will help us to live in harmony with God and our fellow beings.
10-1=0
GOD BLESS YOU!
