What’s the law?
Everything fashioned from the beginning of time that is simply what it is because it was meant to be so. If there is a purpose for it, there is something that establishes it. That thing, in this case, is called a “law.” However an established “law” is not the same as a created law. Created law is convenient for a time, a period in history, a season, maybe even just a week. These are temporary… But with an established law, the foundation of our world must adhere. These laws that were in place early on. These are the ‘established’ laws. They affect us all broadly and intricately. We most likely see these laws in play when there is a turning point in our lives individually or collectively.
A Common Thread
We can find many of these laws by simply looking for the common thread of consequences produced by each of them. They’re natural. Just part of our natural living. As sure as if we were to plant a certain kind of seed into the ground, it would result in producing that same certain fruit.
Depending on the individual, these laws can work out for the benefit or the detriment of that person. Whenever there is a situation that needs judging, these laws have already gone ahead and made room for easy decision-making, making them invaluable… true protection.
Even with these established laws in place… cheering us on toward wise decisions… there is still a more fruitful way. A way that makes every one of these laws invalid, putting them into effect to produce an even greater outcome.
Behavior Modification vs. Real Change
In order for these established laws to affect true transformation, they must be connected, orchestrated around one ‘Main Law’. If it is to be considered a law at all. The main law would be that of Love.
You may ask, “what’s love gotta do with it?” Well, truly everything revolves around it, even money. Yes, even money. The more we can fall in and be in line with it, the more naturally everything else of merit will follow.
Sincere Love vs. Superficial
There is only One love. It is the kind where another will truly give up His life for the object of His affection. There is only One capable of this kind of love. We know Him to be God in the form of the man Jesus Christ. And while no human effort can fully reach this level of sacrificial love, it would not have been exampled for us if we were not to have gained something from it. Wouldn’t you agree? In fact, we have already gained something from it. Knowing this… really knowing this ignites the sincere potential of this love within each of His beloved. The only law that becomes reality in our lives is grounded in this.
