I believe that it is a dangerous thing to live our lives without a spiritual standard by which we determine right from wrong. God's Word is that standard. Spiritual laws, like physical laws, are meant to protect us, not restrict us. We may exercise our freedom to challenge the laws of electricity, but to do so can bring us death. Likewise, we will not break God's laws, they will break us!
"Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness." 1 John 3:4.
We should understand that God established absolute moral and spiritual laws that we are free to ignore, but we do so at our own peril. And, friends, these laws are timeless! Our cultures do not nor ever will supersede them. Circumstances do not abrogate them. God's laws are eternal, and they will save us from death if we follow them!
We might sometimes feel that God's laws restrict and bind us. On the contrary, God's Word protects us from death. For example, when God said that we are not to commit adultery, He wanted to free us to experience the fullest pleasure of a marriage relationship. Furthermore, He knew the devastating heartache that would come to us, our spouses, our children, our relatives, our friends, and our church family if we broke this law. How important are the laws of God for our life? Without them, we would be robbed of the delights God has in store for us.
Sin is choosing a standard other than God's law on which to base our life! If we are measuring our life by that of our neighbors, our society at large, then we are basing our life on lawlessness, and lawlessness is sin!
