The Judgment of the Law     

  God is the Creator of all civilization. He has demanded that His creation walk in justice and righteousness. For this reason God established laws and judgments blessings and curses, on all mankind, according to their deeds. God’s law demands that we love our neighbor as ourself. God blesses everyone who fulfills this law. However, the law judges every deed contrary to His commandments.

  The same judgment is on the worldly people who are in the church today. When someone walks in a form of godliness, he walks just like the world. Since he has a false security, he is blinded and unaware of God’s requirement to walk in love. He is walking in the stubbornness of his heart as he walks in sin without repentance. “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries” (Heb. 10:26, 27).

  “Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children: and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us... But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becometh saints” (Eph. 5:1-3). These Scriptures explain the God-kind of love that we are to walk in to escape the judgment and curse of the law. When you lay down your selfish flesh nature, you will love your neighbor as yourself. Remember the “love of God, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren” (1 John 3:16).
