LAW ABIDING CITIZEN

Dr. Belinda G. MossSoteria Christian Center International

WHAT IS A KINGDOM?:

“The governing influence of a king over a territory impacting it with his will, his purposes and intent producing a citizenship of people who reflect his culture and nature and who develop his established kingdom in that territory.”

LAW ABIDING CITIZENS

What Is God’s KINGDOM?

“The governing influence of God, our King, over His territory, Earth, impacting it with Hiswill, His purposes and intent producing a citizenship of people [us] who reflect His cultureand nature and who develop his established kingdom in that territory [earth].”


WHAT EVERY KINGDOM MUST HAVE:

1. A KING

2. TERRITORY

3. CITIZENS

4. CONSTITUTION



5. LAWS

6. A GOVERNMENT

7. PRIVILEGES OR RIGHTS

8. CULTURE OR CODE OF ETHICS



9. ARMY

10. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM

11. ECONOMIC SYSTEM


THIS IS WHAT HE TOLD US TO PREACH.

HELP US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS.

TO DO SO, HE SAID, YOU PREACH THAT WHOLE LIST.

WE’VE COME PRETTY CLOSE….


TODAY OUR FOCUS:

THE LAWS OF THE KINGDOM


OUR SUCCESS IN LIFE BOTH IN THE NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL DEPENDS ON US BEING LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.

SO WE MUST OBEY “THE LAW.”

BUT LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF “THE LAW” CAUSES A NEGATIVE REACTION.

WHY? WE DON’T UNDERSTAND LAW


I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT US THINKING WE CAN ENJOY KINGDOM CITIZENSHIP AND CONTINUE TO DISOBEY THE LAW.

YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE GOD’S PROMISES IF YOU VIOLATE GOD’S STANDARDS.

GOD IS GOOD BUT HE’S NOT STUPID.


MY GOAL TODAY: PUT US BACK UNDER THE LAW.

WHY? BECAUSE LAWLESSNESS IS DESTROYING US.

IF YOU BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT YOU WILL EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND.

..But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isa 1:19-20)


IN THE NATURAL IF YOU BREAK THE LAW, YOU GO TO JAIL BECAUSE YOU ARE A DANGER TO SOCIETY.

“I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD YOU SAY—I HIT THAT CAR AND KEPT GOING EVEN THOUGH I KNEW IT WAS WRONG, BUT I’M STILL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.”

IT’S GOING TO CATCH UP WITH YOU.


ROMANS 6:14 “I’M NOT UNDER LAW, REALLY?”


THREE KINDS OF LAW

1. RITUAL LAWS: SECONDARY, TEMPORARY, RITUALS, CUSTOMS, SYSTEMS, AND PROGRAMS REQUIRED FOR CORRECTIVE AND REDEMPTIVE PURPOSES.

KEY: CORRECTIVE FOR REDEMPTIVE PURPOSES AND TEMPORARY.

THAT MEANS RITUAL LAWS ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE SOMETHING WENT WRONG; THEY ARE NOT PERMANENT


THREE KINDS OF LAW

2. CREATION LAW : THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LAW IN LIFE.

THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL , INHERENT LAWS, PRECEPTS, AND STANDARDS, BUILT IN BY THE CREATOR NECESSARY AND REQUIRED FOR EFFECTIVE FUNCTION. THEY ARE PERMANENT.

LAWS BY THE CREATOR THAT THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED [COMMANDED] TO OBEY.


THREE KINDS OF LAW

3. LAWS “OF” THE KINGDOM: THESE ARE LAWS THAT GOVERN THE WAY THE KOG FUNCTIONS:

WE’LL DISCUSS THIS IN OUR NEXT VOLUME.


RITUAL LAWS: WHEN PAUL SAYS WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, HE IS TALKING ABOUT RITUAL LAWS.

HAVING TO DO SOMETHING TO EARN FAVOR RATHER THAN ACCEPT WHAT JESUS HAS ALREADY DONE—

•YOU HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED IN WATER•DRESS A CERTAIN WAY—•GO TO CHURCH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIMES A WEEK—•READ YOUR BIBLE X AMOUNT OF TIMES•FAST X AMOUNT OF DAYS—•BE CIRCUMCISED—
