Success Based On God's Law - Herbert W Armstrong - July 30, 1983

Herbert W Armstrong

Now God's law and government was the basis of God's character. His character is merely God's law in action; but it must be chosen voluntarily, and activated voluntarily, by the one who has it - or he couldn't become God. God Himself WILLS and has made the decision to have that kind of love instead of having competition, and vanity, and jealousy, and envy, and hatred. God is a God of love, a God of mercy and compassion. That's His character! Now man had to make a choice. Otherwise God couldn't reproduce Himself. That part man had to do for himself. So there was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; and the man chose that. He chose that kind of good and evil, which is self-good and self-evil. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
