Not good. rough draft

In biblical times one must follow the law in order to be in good standing with God

(Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen)

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all)

Nehemiah 9:26-27 Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations. 27 Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

It had to be like that because sin was a problem and if it was not dealt with it would cause disastrous consequences like for example: King James Bible Num. 16:32
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.

And why did it happen, because the leader of the house sinned against God and the wages of sin death, which was swift.

Before Christ came, we were bound to the law for salvation, we were to keep all the laws if we wanted to be good with God.

I didn't let this article to simmer so I can write it better but this is my thought when it comes to the Laws of God:

We are not bound to the law for salvation;

We are bound with Christ through His Blood, through the remissions of Sins for Salvation.

But God wants us to follow the Law in obedience and in love and not for salvation.

2 John 1:6 (NIV)

6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.
