Lesson for May 26, 2018
THE HOLY LAW
Scripture reading: Romans 13.
Memory verse: Romans 13:8.
- What does the Bible say that sin actually is? 1 John 3:4; Rom. 3:20.
- What was AbrahamΓÇÖs relationship to GodΓÇÖs Holy Law? Gen. 26:4, 5.
- What did AbrahamΓÇÖs great grandson refuse to do when he was tempted? Gen. 39:7-9.
Note. — We have no record as to when God gave Abraham all these laws, commandments and statues etc. in detail, but the very fact that he kept them is suf­ficient that they were given to him. This is full proof that the law was in existence before it was given at Sinai.
- What other expressions show that the law was in existence before Sinai? Ex. 16:4, 22, 23.
Note. Here we see that by refusing to keep the Sabbath day they transgressed the law. You cannot sep­arate the Sabbath from the Ten Commandments.
- How do we know that this is the law, that points out sin? Rom. 13:8-10.
- How does James magnify this law? James 2:8-9.
- How do we stand before God if we offend this law? Verse 10.
- In what way does James appeal to our reason on this subject? Verse 11.
- Rather than abolishing this law, how does Jesus magnify it? Matt. 5:27, 28; Isa. 42:21.
- How does John magnify this same law? John 3:16 18.
- Because of the carnal mind, what will the Church of God suffer in the last days? Rom, 8:7; Rev. 12:17.
