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 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

Testimony 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

Testimony 71

When I was 9 years old, I remember setting at our devotional table with a hunger and thirst for God that wanted more, deeper, BETTER. I can remember literally crying and pounding on the table, “I know these teachers didn’t mean to give us error. They taught what THEY had been TAUGHT, but didn’t ANYBODY READ THE BOOK?!?!?” It mattered to me then. It mattered to me as a teenager. It matters now as I teach bible classes. It didn’t have to be so hard as I watched so many give up and lay God’s great plan and gift of salvation aside as being “impossible.” Then, a friend sent me a link to Come And Reason’s website. I grew excited. YES! FINALLY! Then another friend told me to stay away, saying her son had just broken up with a girl because she was involved with Come And Reason and that “Tim Jennings preaches a false gospel.” But, AFTER many years of developing an authentic and, dare I say FUN relationship with Jesus, through the Holy Spirit I see this message has been around a LONG time, since the apostle Paul, Ellen White, Graham Maxwell, Ray Foucher, and yourself (though I admit, you’ve made me back up, rewind and replay the clips, and get out my well-worn Bible on a few things.) I’m so thankful I have found LIGHT during these DARK days. I am not alone.

Testimony 59

I’m a native Ghanan, but am currently in France for my master’s degree. Prior to this, during my final years at undergraduate studies in Ghana, I was introduced to your ministry and I’ve been immensely blessed by what you share, especially about the Design and Imposed Laws. God richly bless you for that.

One of the first things I did when I arrived in France was to buy all four of your books. They not only helped me, but those I shared them with. I shared the message with an atheist student and I marveled at how God worked mightily in his life. Today this person shares the Love of God with others and debunks theories of who God is not. I want to share what you present in your “Heavenly Sanctuary and Investigative Judgment” pamphlet, because the message brought rest to my soul and I live today as a healthy person.

God bless you so much and your ministry.

Testimony 2

I continue to enjoy your lessons every week. The more that I research your conclusions, the more I am convinced that the Holy Spirit has lead you to distill out the essence of human redemption. Thank you for your courageous stand for the truth.

Testimony 54

I had a lot of pressure, as a pastor’s kid, to conform and be “good.” I was good at being “good.” I thought my life was going along well until it all started falling apart and I could not figure out why! In my search for “why is this happening to me, God?” I came across your book, “Could it be this Simple,” and God started revealing to me the many distortions I held about His character, His principles, and how He has designed His universe to operate. I remember thinking, “Wow, I have had this all backwards.” I was happy and angry all at the same time. Happy to have the light of truth break through the darkness, revealing a wonderful, beautiful way of understanding God and His plan for His children, and angry, because I felt deceived and cheated by the church, my family, and myself!

My heart thrills when I listen to your bible study lessons. Literally I have gone from death to life. It is a journey I look forward to every day, as God reveals areas this distortion affects. Praise GOD! I will ever be grateful to God for this ministry and your cooperation with the Spirit!

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

Testimony 33

I was invited over a friend’s house to see the “God and Your Brain” seminar today. I became [a christian] 36 years ago at the age of 19, but have struggled with the concept of God taking His ‘pound of flesh’ out on His Son to be appeased. Wow. Your seminar has been an incredible revelation and breath of reason and fresh air! I have your book, “The God Shaped Brain,” and it is SO eye opening. Finally, after 36 years enlightenment has come! Praise the Good Lord! What can I say, but that the Real Gospel is truly “Good News!” Thank you for your efforts in giving the Gospel a clear sound!

Testimony 27

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Testimony 3

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

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.

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

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 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.
