TEACHING MOMENT These are the fundamental Laws of God NOT written on tables of stone. #1 The Law of Sin and Death. This was first given to Adam and Eve in the garden. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2) Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5:12) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 2:17) #2 The Law of Faith This was given to Abel as we find in Hebrews 11:4, By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. (Romans 3:27) #3 The Law of the Spirit of Life. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:2) #4 The Law of Liberty. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (James 1:25) So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. (James 2:12)
