Every Kingdom Must Have A Law
No kingdom can stand without law. In real life, every country has rules—laws that govern its citizens, determining which is good and which is bad. This law reflects the values upheld by the nation. For example, a country that emphasizes justice and equality must have a law that supports that principle.
Likewise with the Kingdom of God. The Bible records that the throne of God was built on truth and justice.
"Justice and law are the pillars of Your throne; love and faithfulness walk before You."— Psalm 89:15 (TB)
"...Justice and law are the pillars of His throne."— Psalm 97:2 (TB)
God's law is not just any rule. His law is perfect because it is a reflection of His holy and true character. So, when someone violates the law, it means that he is not just breaking the rules, but against the person of Allah himself.
- Romans 7:12, Psalm 19:8
Because God's law is perfect and not divided, the law must be obeyed in its entirety. It is not enough to just obey some and violate some others.
"For whoever obeys the whole law, but neglects even a small part of it, he is guilty of the whole."
- James 2:10
If God's law is His standard, then anyone who violates it is rejecting the character and authority of Allah. That is what is called sin. And because Allah is just, sin cannot be left alone—there must be a fair reward.
- Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23
Big Problem - Helpless Human Condition
Sinful Man & Ruled by the Flesh
We want to obey, but the nature of sin in the flesh always pulls us away from Allah.
Romans 7:18, Matthew 26:41
Perfect Law, But Become Helpless Because Of The Flesh
The problem is not in the law-but in ourselves who are weak and unable to meet the demands of the law.
Romans 8:3
All People Are Sinful and Deserve to be Sentenced to Death
No one is right. All humans are under the death penalty for breaking the law.
Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23
Soul-Catinating Death - Played by Hades (Maut)
Death is not just the end of life, but spiritual slavery. The human soul is captured by death, waiting for judgment.
Hebrews 2:14-15, Revelation 6:8
Imagine a gripping hostage situation.
Armed criminals threaten to kill all hostages if their demands are not met.
The tension peaked, there was no way out.
Then suddenly, a young man appeared and said in a loud voice:
"Let them all go. I'll be his replacement."
Apparently, that man is the president's son—someone who is very valuable, much more valuable than ordinary hostages.
Seeing who came, the criminals agreed.
They accepted the exchange.
The hostages were released.
The president's son became their successor—surrendering himself to the enemy's hands.
- Mark 10:45, 1 Timothy 2:5-6
Jesus Bears Sin & Curse of Law
He replaces our position, the captives completely—bearing our faults, and dies to pay for our mistakes.
"We all go astray like sheep, each of us takes his own way, but the LORD has brought upon him our evil."— Isaiah 53:6 (TB)
"Because all people, who live by the work of the law, are under the curse..."— Galatians 3:10 (TB)
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is he who is hung on the cross!'"— Galatians 3:13 (TB)
(Refers to Deuteronomy 21:23)
His sacrifice once and for all, redeeming all the debts of human sins in all ages.
- Hebrews 10:12, Hebrews 9:26, Colossians 1:20, 1 John 2:2
Justified by Faith — Flameable in Front of Allah
Through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus, every believer is no longer under punishment. We are justified—not because of our deeds, but because of faith in His finished work on the cross. – Romans 5:1, Colossians 1:22
Rebuke of Paul & the Author of the Book of Hebrews to the Apostates
Read Galatians 3:1-14
Returning to the law means rejecting grace. It's like saying, "Thank you, Jesus... but let me continue on my own."
After explaining that salvation comes by faith, not the law, the book of Hebrews gives a frightening warning about those who forsake the grace. – Hebrews 6:4-6, Hebrews 10:26-29
Back to the law after receiving grace = aposty.
It's like saying that Jesus' death is not enough, and we need another sacrifice.
Galatians said: "Why did you leave grace?"
Hebrews warned: "If you do this, you are trampling on the Son of God."
Conclusion: Faith in the Law or Faith in Jesus?
Every human being is at the same crossroads—choosing to believe in his own efforts, or believing in the perfect work of Christ on the cross. Faith in the law means constantly trying to meet impossible standards, hoping that our goodness can atone for our own sins. But faith in Jesus means surrendering completely, admitting that only His sacrifice is able to save.
Whoever rejects grace, is insulting the blood of Christ.
Whoever relies on the law for salvation, that is the essence of aposty.
Do I put my faith in my deeds... or in the finished work of Jesus?
