Ask the Author: Christ the End of the Law — 3 Comments

  1. Its great to have the opportunity to listen from the author of the quarterly clear insight details from the answers to questions made by the participants. Simply great. God bless

  2. A7 we were studying in the Sabbath class we read Rom 5:13-14. What time of earth’s history is Paul refering to AS BEFORE THE LAW. We believe God’s law was there @ creation eg the Sabbath & not to eat the forbiden tree.

  3. When I was young I saw Christianity as unappealing because I was aware that there were monumental restrictions and conditions which would hamper my pursuit of happiness. Through a complex set of circumstances (providence) I started reading the Bible and after years of study and reflection I realize that the law is not Gods way of asserting His supremacy but a guideline as to how we can be safe, happy and prosperous. At this point the law goes from being our enemy to being our friend and God from our oppressor (as asserted by Lucifer) to our protector. So while my “dead” flesh is drawn to sin, my renewed spirit delights in the law.

At a camp meeting 40 years later, I happened to see Dr. I. demonstrating some kind of health product, if I remember correctly. (In my mind, I see only the image of him, much older, but still looking much like he did when I was a student, with a friend by my side.) I lingered a little but did not introduce myself. I briefly wondered whether he recognized me. I’m fairly sure that I was as recognizable to him as he was to me.

Had he changed? Or did he still feel superior in his “humility”? Should I talk to him? I didn’t know how to approach him, and was busy with friends. I still don’t know whether I should have said something. (Maybe I’m just a coward.)

If God wants him to see my story, his and my identity are clear enough in this post, that God can direct him to it.
