The Rule of Law Part 3 of 3

This is the final article of a three part series on the so-called rule of law. See Part 1 and Part 2 posted the previous two Sundays. There is a great deal of misunderstanding concerning this concept and Sam has tried to clarify it in this series.

The Ultimate Rule of Law: Jesus Christ

For those not wanting to live in a theocracy, there is a place for you. It’s called Hell and after that comes the judgment, and then the Lake of Fire. Believe it or not, the entire universe is under a theocracy. Jesus the Christ rules over everything created.(1) Every knee will bow before Him and every tongue one day will proclaim Him to be Lord.(2) Yes, even His enemies will do so.

Ironically all God’s Law is based on two laws. The first law or commandment is that you shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and the second is you shall love your neighbor as yourself.(3) Follow those two laws and you will automatically do the rest. The rule of law has ruled out these two laws, especially the first, making it nearly impossible for people to obey the law. Thus, they make all kinds of laws covering all kinds of behavior because love for God is rejected.

Jesus said suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not for of such is the kingdom of Heaven. The rule of law has ruled out children from hearing about Jesus or praying to Him. When they are young they have the best chance of believing on Jesus and receiving Jesus. The rule of law imposes evolution on the young preventing them from learning true science, and thus it conditions the young to go to hell. The Judiciary is the number one cause of juvenile delinquency and lawlessness in the United States today by denying public access to God.

The Greeks had the concept that there was a man in whom the Law dwelt. His name was Logos. Logos translated into English is “Word.” The Apostle John uses this when he writes, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.(5) The Word became flesh and we beheld His glory as the only begotten of the Father.(6) Actually to live in obedience to Jesus is to follow the rule of law, because Jesus rules and His word and life is the law. Jesus is both God and man having existed as God without being a man from eternity (7) to conception in Mary.

If you desire to follow Jesus as the ruler of the “rule of law” then you begin by confessing to Him that you are a sinner and by personally inviting Him into your inner being, your heart. You can pray, “Lord Jesus Christ, please forgive me of my sins and come into my innermost being, my heart.” Jesus is the name of the Lord and whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, redeemed, and purchased. Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power.(8)
