Just what are we actually implying whenever we refuse to obey the law
of God, our Creator? Here's what...We're practically saying that God's Law is NOT good and that it does not apply to us. So we deny and defy
it. Our behavior, choices, and decisions prove that we are bound by no
law...that our individual judgment is better than God's judgment. We
live under our own authorities because we do not acknowledge His Authority. We show Him that we are outside His rule and government. We are our own kings. We
tell Him to His Face that we have all the right to do what "we want" to
do and not what HE commands us to do. Firmly refusing to surrender to
His will and turning ourselves into our own little gods...we strongly imply,
"not Your will, GOD, but my will be done!"
God gave us His Law for our own good. We can't be our own judges as to
what is right and what is wrong based on our own feelings and judgments. There must only be one absolute authority.
One standard Law―God's. Otherwise, left to our own, we all would set
our own individual rules to follow out of selfish gains and motives. Each one has their own. All according to our mood for the moment, which later on, will change. And rarely are we considerate of others' welfare before our own.
For why are there crimes? Why do people violate another's rights? Why do people steal, kill, slander? Because they do not comply to set rules. Not even rules set by the smallest unit of society―family. They disobey their parents just to satisfy their desires and to do what they want. They won't even follow the rules in small establishments. They litter everywhere, sneak out some small items they can insert in their bags. They think they can defy the law any way they want as they feel like doing. They see only what for them is good (for them... what is convenient...) but not entirely for the common good. They do as they please until their very own right is violated.
One person may see nothing wrong when he gossips, yet when it is he who becomes the object of gossip will find it foul. Another person may think it is just okay to vandalize his neighbor's fence, justifying that it's art. But, when it is His belonging that's defaced, would not hesitate to immediately file a complaint. Some others would outrightly criticize his fellow to a point of humiliation, then when the same is done to him would protest he was abused or harassed. People judge a thing based on what benefit he will get out of his own self-imposed rule, but it is not necessarily acceptable to another person.
God's Law gives us an "established" set of rules and regulations to observe, which does not protect one's cause and violates another's. It serves the common good and welfare of all. It is just and trustworthy. ^_^
