Have you ever imagined a society without laws? Yeah, it would be a disaster, wouldn’t it? But why? God created us in His own image and put in us the ability to live together without friction. Why then do we have so much crime in our societies? Why can’t we just live together peacefully, everyone doing his or her own things, no one stepping on other people’s toes, and so on? Don’t you wish that we can all just be one family, united, rejoicing with one another, advancing the society, moving forward? I certainly wish, but if experience has taught us anything, it is that such a society is impossible until Christ comes back to reign.

 

The law was created because there is no agreement in behavior. It was put in place to enforce order. As the Bible says, the law was created, not for the obedient, but for the offender (1 Timothy 1:9-10). The law ensures that we can live together in a regulated society, and those who break the law are punished. In the Law of Moses, penalties are stipulated for offenders.
