Intent of the Law

Laws are any written rule, principles and regulations established by a nation applicable to its people, whether in the form of legislation or of custom and policies recognized and enforced by judicial decision.

The laws are made to remind those who violates it and there is no need to remind the non-violators when they are actually not breaking the law.

What then is the intent of the law? It was an addition made because of sin.

1 Tim 1:9 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 man-slayers,

1 Tim 1:10 For lewd persons, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for men-stealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

We are warned of the existence of the devil who is always around us waiting to devour with deception.

1 Pet 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The reason why he and his angels will be cast out, prior to the one thousand years reign of Jesus Christ, to stop him from deceiving the whole world.

Rev 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.

Rev 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled; and after that he must be loosed a little season.

But it’s not only the devil that should be blamed, for a man has its own lust when tempted and enticed.

Jas 1:4 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

In the beginning, man was made by God upright for the laws were put into their minds and written into their hearts.

Eccles 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

But there are ten thousand laws and there’s but one important law needed for our salvation.

Hos 8:12 Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.

Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
