Collins. '
The Law of the Lord
Law has been defined as a
rule of action. Our God Is a
God of law, and everything in
our world Is governed by some
kind of law. Likewise God has
ordained that the spiritual realm
be governed by law.
We read in Ps. 19:7, "the
law of the Lord is perfect con
verting the soul." Since the
law is perfect, men cannot Im
prove upon it. We read In 2
Peter 1:3, "His divine power
has given all things that pertain
unto life and godliness." Paul
testifies in 2 Tim. 3; 16-17
that all scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and that
through the Holy Scriptures
the man of God is completely
furnished unto every good
work. Jude wrote, "Contend
earnestly for the faith which
was once for all delivered unto
the saints." (Jude 3.) Paul pro
nounced a curse on any man
or even an angel who would
dare preach any other gospel
than that which he preached.
Gal. 1:8, So God's perfect law
his only, complete, and final
revelation is found in the
Bible. Therefore, we must re
ject the opinions of men as
authoritive guides In religion,
as well as the claims of modern
prophets that the Lord has
spoken through them to reveal
things in addition to that which
is already revealed in his perfect
law.
