LAW - LAWLESSNESS

LAW - LAWLESSNESS

“But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.” 1 Tim. 1:8-10

America as well as many countries of the world today are removing all restraints of law previously followed. It is alarming to witness the flagrant redefinition of terms formally known as truth. New boundaries surface that cross moral barriers. Closet participants now display conduct openly that was formerly known as indecent. Borders and barriers are destroyed and torn down. Anyone suggesting a wall is seen as a heretic to their cause, a one world environment and which finally arrives after He Who restrains leaves this earth with the followers of His teaching concerning Truth and His messages. 2 Thess. 2:7.

44.       To show the terrible nature of sin Rom. 7:13.

55.       To reveal how great the number of sins Rom. 5:20.

66.       To shut every mouth with the consciousness of guilt before God Rom. 3:19.

77.       To set a restraining guard up on man, until they find true freedom in Christ by faith Gal. 3:23-24.

88.       To witness prophetically, and typically to salvation by grace through the righteousness of Christ Rom. 3:21; Heb. 10:1.

 Lawlessness, which does not mean being without law, but being in revolt against law. The Bible, God and especially the constitution are all restraining hindrances to the free will exertion of a lawless person seeking their definition of freedom. People run for office to magnify this freedom, this so called liberty which in essence is bondage to Satan, following his lead from the very beginning.

Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

Isa 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

Isa 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

Lawlessness  <Law> (of Moses):1 Tim. 1:8-9; Heb 7:19. (Exo 19:1; Gal 3:24) The evil germ within the spirit of man that affects all his mind and heart and soul is lawlessness.
