No such thing as lawlessness
Recently my sister has just been baptised and she has gotten herself a baptised name - Trinity. Praise the Lord. It was such an event and the moment of new creation. Well if you asked me, I have no problem with Trinity. It is a great name, a name that instantaneously relate a person to Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. My CG members saw no issues with that name, my friends neither. Ironically, when this was let known to a friend from another church. Her reaction was, "What blasphemy.. disrespect." I was taken aback, shocked and to actually think that she is from a church that preached heavily on the grace message. I wonder..
After a few days, I sense a prompting. A prompting that seems to point out the importance of LAW. It has always seems to be a fantastic idea to live a life of faith where grace abound in the absence of law. Where there is no law to 'cause' you to sin and boundaries to restrict your freedom. Unfortunately, it will be an idea that will never work simply because human functions in a herd mentality. How many times in the bible has man been describe as a sheep. It is our tendency to follow. Follow what? A Shepherd, the standard, the law.
Seriously, in the absence of law, man will surely create their own. Just like in the absence of God, man create their own. All these to create a niche for like-minded people to come together for a common activity. Without law, there is no clear distinction of right and wrong. Without clear distinction, there can be no boundary. And without boundary, there can be no security physically or psychologically. Without law, man will become more lost than free.
Here is the irony, man can only truly be free under a system; law.
Not convince? Try writing a simple sentence without following the law of sentence structuring. You will get my point.
