What is the law of God?
How does God define the law of God? This question is of great importance, for it deals with our spiritual understanding. God’s laws are the rules of the Kingdom of God and His way of life, and they are divine and perfect in intent, equity and administration.
The apostle Paul said God’s “law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good” as well as “spiritual” (Romans 7:12, 14).
King David wrote, “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul,” and he went on to describe the beauty and benefits of God’s testimonies, statutes, commandments and judgments—various aspects of biblical law (Psalm 19:7-11).
Biblical laws include a holy system of commandments, statutes and judgments that are meant to be observed by all countries and all people, for God created all people.
God’s laws define righteousness and sin. And here is the key: They are always for our benefit (Deuteronomy 6:17-18; 7:12-14; 10:13). God’s laws are not burdensome (Matthew 11:30; 1 John 5:3), despite what many religious leaders may tell you (2 Peter 3:15-16).
