    Oct 28, 2021 · God’s commands are His laws. God gave Adam and Eve the free will to choose to obey the command, or to break the law. They chose disobedience and transgressed, or violated God’s law. As 1 John 3:4 says, “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.”

    First and foremost, we must think of the “law of God” in terms of God. The triune God isthe law because his will and nature is the moral standard of the universe. For this reason, God alone has the right and authority to determine what is right and wrong, and to hold his moral creatures, both human and angelic, accountable to whether they have perf...

    As Creator and Lord, God rightfully deserves and demands perfect obedience and loyal love from his moral creatures, both human and angelic. In this context, the “law of God” refers to his specific commands and demand from us. In creation, this is reflected in God’s command to Adam (Gen. 2:16-17), which is more than a one-time command. Ultimately, G...

    The “law of God” may also be spoken of as God’s Word written, or Scripture. In fact, just as a biblical concept of law (torah, instruction) is directly tied to covenants, so covenants in Scripture are written down. This is especially the case with the Mosaic Law (torah) or covenant that is written as instruction to rule and direct the nation of Isr...

    Now that Christ has come, Christians are no longer “under the law” (Mosaic covenant) as a covenant; instead we are under the new covenant (e.g., Rom. 6:14-15; 1Cor. 9:20-21; Gal. 4:4-5; 5:13-18). In God’s plan, the Mosaic Law served its purpose, but now in Christ, it has reached its telos (end and goal) (Rom. 10:4; Gal. 3:15-4:7). On this point, 1 ...

    In the New Testament, the Greek word used for law is nomos. Nomos means “that which is assigned,” hence, “usage, custom,” and then “law,” or “a rule governing one’s actions.”. Thus God’s law is His system of rules by which He shows and instructs in His will and administers the affairs of the world.

    Apr 25, 2017 · Calvin’s instruction comes down to us in what he calls the threefold use of the law with respect to its relevance to the new covenant. The law, in its first use, reveals the character of God, and that’s valuable to any believer at any time. But as the law reveals the character of God, it provides a mirror to reflect to us our unholiness ...
