Law
Acts 5:17-32
Points of the passage:
1. The legal system was in effect. (17-18)
2. The legal system was expected to work. (18-24)
3. The legal system was ineffective. (25-29)
4. The disciples pointed to a higher legal system. (30-32)
We Christians believe that law consists of 6 basic precepts:
1. All divine law is founded on the character and nature of God.
2. A moral order comes from God and reflects who He is.
3. We are created in God’s image and have His law written on our hearts.
4. We possess a nature that is in rebellion to the laws of God.
5. Jesus became the Redeemer by taking on the very human form He had created and died for sin against God’s law.
6. God will judge the world through Jesus by His standard of good and evil.
