KEY SCRIPTURES: 1Ti 1:9 KJV” Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,”

We continue with our study of Paul’s first letter to Timothy. .In the previous vers he wrote that there are occasions when the law may be applicable, that is when it is applied in a lawful or acceptable way.We discussed about one acceptable way that the law could be applied.This was in the upkeep of the ministers of God as was done under the old covenant.

This time we look at a general application of the law.The law is generally applicable to any one who rejects the provisions of God’s grace.We partake of the provisions of God’s grace when we believe on the great sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Romans 2:6- 9 the bible says the followingRom 2:7-8 KJV “To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,.” Now to those who received the word and live by it receive God’s grace and blessings.
But to the disobedient and unlawful indignation and God’s wrath.This is the judgement of the law.Which one do you choose? To live by faith and experience the provisions of God’s blessings of peace and life ( Rom 5:17 KJV For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) or be disobedient and suffer the reign of death..

It is a terrible thing to live by the law or to live under the influence of the law.1Co 15:56 KJV “The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.” The law is the strength or power of sin.Sin is also the sting of death.Our key scripture speaks of the profane,the lawless, disobedient;ungodly, sinners, murderers and what have you are all under the power of death.Dear child of God please know that anyone without Jesus is miserably ruled by death.Rom 5:12 KJV Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:The works of sin are just the vernom of death working in their life.We mist strive in prayer and aggressively reach out to them to get them free or saved.
