The law always existed. Selected Messages, Bk. 1 pg 222; Ps 119:152
It was worded differently in heaven. “ The law of God existed before man was created. It was adapted to the condition of holy beings; even angels were governed by it. After the Fall, the principles of righteousness were unchanged. Nothing was taken from the law; not one of its holy precepts could be improved. And as it had existed from the beginning, so will it continue to exist throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. “ Concerning thy testimonies,” says the psalmist, “ I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.” (Ps 119:152). Ibid, pg 220; Christ in His Sanctuary pg. 20.
It is a transcript of God’s Nature of Love. “ The Law which is a transcript of His character, no one need fail to understand. The words written by the finger of God on tables of stone so perfectly reveal His will concerning His people that none need make any mistake. The laws of His kingdom were definitely made known, to be afterward revealed to the people of all nations and tongues as the principles of His government.” S.M. Bk. 1 pg 225; Patriarchs and Prophets , pg.21
It was worded in its prohibitory side from Mt. Sinai (Ex 20; Gal 3:17).

The law has two sides, the physical side and the spiritual side S.M. BK 1 Pg.235; Rom 7:10.
The physical side is the law of works while the spiritual side is love—the principles of God’s nature.
The physical side of the law only condemns ( Rom 3:19; Rom 4:15; Gal 3:10).
The spiritual side of the law converts the soul, freeing it from the condemnation of the physical side (Ps 19:7,8; Rom 8:2).
Jots and tittles will change from the law when all the controversy about sin is finished (Matt 5:18).
The law is forever S.M BK 1 pg 211, 239; Ps 111:7,8.

Amen amen! I went through this this early Sabbath morning and found it to be interesting and cleared up some stuff in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThe law is indeed spiritual. And this law has two sides. The spiritual and the physical. The physical condemns and the spiritual side converts. The law of God is a transcript of the love of God! Amen!
