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 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 72

I am blown away by the truth that you present. God’s Design Law makes so much sense! You have validated my impression that, if God is love, He would not kill those who don’t want to know him. If God gives us choice, then how can He destroy us if our choice is not to follow him. Thank you for opening my eyes and heart to the pure love of God seen through Jesus. The love I now have for Jesus is deeper and free from condemnation. My heart has been opened to love others as Jesus loves me. May God continue to bless your God-given insight into His word and your ministry. The truth has set me free!

H. Miller, Centereach, NY

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.

Testimony 47

I can’t even begin to thank you and your ministry enough for introducing me to the Truth about a loving and merciful God! I have my daughter and her in-laws to thank for sharing with me “The God-Shaped Brain” as well as your website. I listen to the Bible study class lessons on my daily walk. May God continue to bless your thirst-quenching ministry!

Testimony 40

I was brought up in a different faith and have been petrified my whole life of God. I believed that I would burn in hell for eternity. When I was 12 I started pursuing the things of this world, but for the next 45 years the Spirit was always calling me, as I knew there was a God through nature. I could see the vast sea of stars in the universe and knew there was something bigger out there. Five years ago, through a Revelation seminar, I was blessed to learn about God’s character and government.

Then I found Come and Reason Ministries and have come under some extreme pressure when I speak about the ministry. One time a member sent me an internet article titled “Whats wrong with Tim Jennings?” I asked her what she thought of it and she said “I don’t know, I didn’t read it.”

I have always wanted to find out for myself the truth about God, so I stayed with the Design Law construct and have been liberated to understand the big picture. Once we consider Design Law, all other Bible stories and prophecies seem to fit perfectly. It is truly beautiful to see people grasping how God operates this Universe of Love and the liberation it has provided in their lives. It blows my mind to see how consistent Design law is with what our founders believed. I hear statements like “This makes so much sense.”

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

Testimony 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

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 37

Hearing Dr. Jennings’ presentations in person came at a pivotal moment in my spiritual journey that began about nine months ago, when the fault lines inherent in my belief system began to crack under questions that most reasonable people end up asking about God and His nature. These were questions I couldn’t find answers to, and they shook my faith. I was unable let it go any longer and be satisfied. My Christian experience became distant. I was afraid; the fear in me rose like thorns, pushing me away from Jesus. And then someone heard my questions and introduced me to this ministry, and my life has totally changed.

I can tell you that this new, “present truth” message is far grander and life-changing than when I shifted from being an agnostic and then a nominal Christian. It has radically altered my worldview, because it reveals a God that makes sense. It is a revolution. I believe that Dr. Jennings’ message is the final message that must go to the world. If any message could be called “righteousness by faith,” as abused as that term is by the right and the left, this is that message, because Jennings’ biblical message identifies a God who is different, whose character isn’t an impossible contradiction.

I walk this path now without fear. I see people differently, and the Holy Spirit burns in my heart. Many call Dr. Jennings’ message false and compromising, but it isn’t false, because I’ve seen the fruits within my mind and body. It is not compromising, because in this message is the only road to holiness that makes any sense. No longer do I behold a pagan god who is always angry and suspicious. Instead, I behold a God who is freeing and loving, always working for our good, and giving me every reason to love my enemy even to my own death, just as Jesus pleads with us. God is good.

Testimony 76

Warm greetings from Tanzania! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team at Come And Reason Ministries for the amazing work you do. Your teachings have opened my eyes to deep biblical truths and how to live them out in real life. I started following the ministry back in 2018, and ever since, my walk with God has grown so much stronger. I’ve found freedom from fear-based faith and now live with more peace and trust in Him. I’ve also been sharing what I’ve learned, especially through Bible School discussions. Your lessons are so insightful and well-explained that I try not to miss a single one. May God continue to bless the work you’re doing.
Elisha M., Tanzania, Africa

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

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 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA
