But you keep failing the final exam, and have to keep repeating the class. Those who graduate are free from the schoolmaster.
You are NOT free from keeping the Law (10 Commandments). You are free from the Penalty of Violating Gods Law.
A man was sentenced to die by hanging for a muder he was convicted of. The Govenor heard about the man and his conviction. Before the Death sentence could be carried out, the Govenor came and gave that man a full pardon. He was free to go.
Because that man was so grateful to the Govenor, he kept all the Govenors laws.
What do you suppose that Govenor would do if he found out the same man was disobeying the laws of his territory????
Even 6 year old kids understand this. They know we are to obey God and observe and do all His Commandments. I don't know why adults can't understand that we are to obey God.
When a child learns to walk,,, he falls. Do we say, "Stay down,, you will only fall again."???? Or do we set him upright and tell him to keep trying??? So it is with keeping Gods Law. If I fail,, I ask God to forgive me, and I keep trying. I keep working and cultivating a relationship that will bring to have a character like that of Jesus. God abhors sin!!! He knows verywell what it has caused. We should abhor sin too, instead of justifying it, or saying, we can't help it.
