WAT BETEKEN DIT OM SKULDIG TE WEES AAN DIE OORTREDING VAN DIE HELE WET VAN GOD?

WAT BETEKEN DIT OM SKULDIG TE WEES AAN DIE OORTREDING VAN DIE HELE WET VAN GOD?

Die Bybel sê vir ons:

Want elkeen wat die hele wet onderhou en tog op een punt struikel, is skuldig daaraan dat hy dit alles verbreek (Jakobus 2:10 NIV 84).

Ek het verskeie argumente gehoor wat oor hierdie gedeelte gemaak word wat fokus op ons gedrag, ‘n reëlgeoriënteerde benadering, die identifisering van verskeie “wette” van God en beweer dat as ons een reël nie hou nie, beteken dit dat ons skuldig is aan die oortreding van al die wette. Maar die enigste manier waarop Jakobus se beskrywing waar kan wees, is as ons verstaan dat God se wet ontwerpwet is en die idee verwerp dat God se wet funksioneer soos menslike wet, opgelegde reëls wat wetlike toesig en straf vereis.

As ons dink dat God se wet oplegde reëls is, dan is dit wat Jakobus geskryf het nie waar nie. Dit is nie waar dat iemand wat met hul belasting verneuk, ook skuldig is aan kindermolestering nie. Dit is nie waar dat wanneer iemand owerspel pleeg, hulle ook skuldig is aan moord of dwelmverkope aan kinders nie.

Sal jy die verklaring as waar aanvaar dat jy skuldig is aan verkragting omdat jy jou humeur verloor het en jou naaste vervloek het? Nee! Jy sou sê, “Nee, ek is nie skuldig nie!”

In plaas daarvan, Jakobus se stelling dat die oortreding van een punt van die wet ‘n mens skuldig maak aan die oortreding van al die wette, is slegs waar wanneer ons besef dat God se wet ontwerpwet is, die wet van liefde wat in die werklikheid ingebou is. Dit maak nie saak hoe ons selfsugtig is nie; enige vorm van anti-liefde, anti-waarheid, anti-geregtigheid is ‘n oortreding van die wet.

  • As ons valse getuienis teen ons naaste aflê, het ons nie lief nie.
  • As ons ons ouers oneer aandoen, het ons nie lief nie.
  • As ons egbreuk pleeg, het ons nie lief nie.
  • As ons moord pleeg, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons steel, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons begeer, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons ander gode het, kan ons nie liefhê nie.
  • As ons God se naam aanneem, onsself Christen noem, maar Hom verkeerd voorstel deur te leer dat Hy ‘n keiserlike diktator en bron van die dood is, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons valse beelde van God vind wat ons geneentheid waardig is, versuim ons om lief te hê.
  • As ons nie die Sabbat gedenk nie en daarom nie die waarheid wat dit aan ons openbaar aanhang en toepas nie, versuim ons om lief te hê.

Versuim om lief te hê is die oortreding van God se wet; die Tien Gebooie is bygevoeg omdat die gevalle mensdom dit benodig het, om te help om onder ons aandag te bring dat ons natuurlike harte en verstand nie liefhet nie. Daarom moet ons wedergebore word met ‘n nuwe hart en regte gees wat God en ander liefhet, en dit is presies wat Jakobus beskryf het:

As jy werklik die koninklike wet onderhou wat in die Skrif gevind word, “Wees lief vir jou naaste soos jouself,” doen jy reg. … Want elkeen wat die hele wet onderhou en tog net op een punt struikel, is skuldig aan die oortreding daarvan (Jakobus 2:8, 10 NIV 84).

Ek nooi jou uit om die opgelegde wetsleuens oor God en sy regering te verwerp en terug te keer na die aanbidding van Hom as ons Skepper, die een wat die werklikheid gebou het, die Een wat liefde is, en Wie se wette die ontwerpprotokolle van liefde is waarop die struktuur van die kosmos werk.

Testimony 16

Your seminars are still inspiring and changing our lives and we continue to share the principles we have learned from you. Your ministry has changed our lives!

E.W.

 

Testimony 57

You have helped make sense of thirty two years of confusion. The material you freely provide reorganized so much of my life into such a beautiful pattern that has always been hinted at from within, but misguided with my training and what I was experiencing externally. My filipno parents, who were converted from Catholicism to SDA, were sincere and did their best to raise me the right way and I have deep respect for them. However, being immigrants and not understanding the language made for a difficult transition as I was growing up, which also applied to my spiritual growth as I learned the patterns of religion. I have been listening to as many bible study classes and reading blog posts as my time in a work truck will allow, searching for the practical applications of where spirituality and reality meet, and I thank you for helping me find that. You have helped me reach a point in which I can truly say that I love God, that I believe He loves me, and, like David, I delight in His law. God bless.

Emmanuel V., Calgary, AB Canada

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 28

I have been following your Bible study class for about a year now. I must say I am impressed with how your ministry has grown. I took it upon myself to listen to all your lesson podcasts from the past and they have both enriched me physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I have learnt a lot from this class. I have also noticed how the class has grown in spiritual strength. One of the things that benefited me is that now I am not afraid of God. I use to be, but now it has melted away. The second thing is that you helped me to have a real life relationship with God. Now He is my friend that was always there and I love having him with me all the time. Thirdly, because of this class, it inspired me to take over and lead a class. I have called it “Let Us Reason Together,” adapting your inquisitive style and creating a class of free thinkers.

Testimony 45

I have been confused for years about what [christianity] calls [its] most disgusting teaching. It has never made much sense to me and for that reason has been evermore empty. I have listened to your class off and on and have struggled determining what is truth, because of the resistance design law encounters in the church. So, I thank God for your ministry. What you teach makes sense. It’s logical and backed up by the power of love. I have never seen that in Christ until now. I am astounded by the insight that is found when we look at God’s ministry through design law. All strength to this message, as I believe it to be the power of God.

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

B. F., Silicon Valley, CA, USA

 

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 10

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

B. L.M., North Plains, OR, USA

 

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 42

I am just writing to say that I have been so blessed by the teachings of Come And Reason Minitries recently. I watched last week’s bible study lesson on Youtube and am thankful that the error in the printed lesson guide you use was pointed out and this week’s study was of equal benefit, if not more so. My understanding of God’s nature has been very confused of late and I am so grateful for clarity in this matter. I have never really fully understood previously how a good God can cause bad things to happen and now I realise that He doesn’t, it’s a natural consequence of sin. May the almighty Father and His Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, continue to bless your ministry.

Laura P., United Kingdom

 

Testimony 23

I would just like to add my voice to the many people who, I believe, must have contacted you to express their appreciation for the “Healing the Mind” DVDs. I’ve been listening to your Bible study class discussions for many years and I’ve been personally blessed by your research and teaching about the character of God.
