"NO ONE CHANGES GOD'S LAW"


               NO ONE CHANGES GOD'S LAW
                              By A. W. Tozer
 
    I delight to do thy will, 0 my God: yea,  thy law is within
    my heart.                                                      - -   Psalm 40:8
 
        Because we live in a period known as the age of God's
    grace, it has become a popular thing to declare that the
    Ten Commandments are no longer valid, no longer
    relevant in our society.
 
        With that  context,  it  has  become  apparent  that
    Christian churches are not paying attention to the Ten
    Commandments.
 
        But  Dwight  L.  Moody  preached  often  in  the
    commandments.  John Wesley said he preached the
    commands of the Law to prepare the way for the gospel.
    R. A. Torrey told ministers if they did not preach the Law,
    they would have no response to the preaching of the
    gospel.  It is the Law that shows us our need for the gospel
    of salvation and forgiveness!
 
        It is accurate to say that our binding obligation is not to
    the Old Testament Law.  As sincere  Christians we are
    under Christ's higher law --- that which is represented in
    His  love  and  grace.

      But  everything  that  is  morally commanded in the
    Ten Commandments still comprises the moral
    principles  that  are  the will  of God  for His people.
   God's basic moral will for His people has not changed!
