MINISTUDY: God's Law - Basis of True Christianity - Richard H Sedliacik - June 1982

Richard H Sedliacik

During His ministry, Jesus Christ taught obedience to God as He preached the good news about the coming government of God on earth. "Repent ye, and believe the gospel" was the essence of Jesus' message (Mark 1:15). Over and over again the Bible emphasizes repentance from sin. And sin is defined in the Bible as the breaking of God's great spiritual law (I John 3:4). As we already know from our study of the Scriptures in previous Ministudies, repentance is the first step toward salvation. We must repent of (turn from) breaking God's law as one of the conditions to receiving God's forgiveness of our sins. "Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man" is Solomon's admonition to all mankind (Eccl. 12: 13). Let's review several vital facts about God's law and see how God's Commandments form the basis of true Christianity. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
