LAWS OF THE BIBLE

 

A great scholar once said, "If a man-made law cannot be traced to a divine source, then not only should its effectiveness be questioned but, even more, its intent should be suspected."

The divine laws, as revealed to Moses and taught by Yahshua, must be discerned spiritually and put into practice in our daily life. Wise decisions, based on obedience to the laws of the Bible so abundant in mercy and justice, bring about the constant harmony and peace, which can be ours.
