HONOR GOD

"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me."except me!

5.Mojžišova, 5.6

The first basic and most important rule of life is to honor the Creator, who gave us life, who provides us with love, health and provision every day. It is up to us whether we will gratefully accept or proudly rebel. Respect for God is shown by respect for His word, which He has given us in the Bible. Whoever studies His word and the creation around us and, based on understanding, acts in practical life according to His rules, is a person who abides in God's love. Nothing can replace the love of our Creator and Father.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and Godhead, have been clearly seen, being understood from the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give thanks to him. They became futile in their reasonings, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. They exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image made like to corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over to uncleanness in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way, the men abandoned natural relations with women and were consumed with lust for one another, men with men committing shameless acts and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not believe in God, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what is not fitting. They are filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, violent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, unwise, unsteady, unloving, unmerciful. They know God’s decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, and yet they not only do the same themselves but also approve of others doing the same.”

Romans 1:18-32

"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or a soothsayer or a medium or a spiritist."
or one who interprets omens, or one who is a sorcerer, or one who casts spells, or one who consults a spirit medium, or one who is a sorcerer,
"nor one who inquires of the spirits of the dead (asking dead people for help, even if they are called saints)."
Deuteronomy 18:10-11

"Jesus said, 'If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him. And
We will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that I have
"What you hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me."
John 14:23-24

The result of breaking God's laws is death - separation from God and suffering, but the gift - free and for all from God is forgiveness and eternal life by recognizing that He is Perfect and we are evil. By recognizing that we accept the help He offers us and asking for forgiveness for our crimes on the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. After receiving forgiveness, we commit to obeying the Creator by learning and respecting His laws in the new life He offers us.

In Israel, serious crimes were publicly tried by responsible people in society - judges, and people were publicly punished. This was to prevent the entire society of Israel from falling into rebellion and thus under God's judgment. God is Holy - Perfect and dwells in a huge fire of love. Everything in His presence is revealed and evil will burn in His fire.

For us, this means respect for the authorities in individual states, which are entrusted by God with this judgment and punishment. It is up to individual governments and subsequently judges to respect God's laws.

God does not want criminals to perish, but to enter into themselves, to correct themselves and to be able to live through the grace of God. The well-known story of the woman who was caught in adultery, they wanted to stone her according to God's law and brought her to Jesus. He said: "Let him who is without sin be the first to throw a stone." When she was left alone and everyone left, he said: "Has no one condemned you? Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more." God presents himself to us as righteous, who rewards good and punishes evil, but is gracious to the broken. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. God did not abolish the law, he came to fulfill it through the Lord Jesus.

"11 Say to them, 'As I live,' declares the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but in the
that the wicked will turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your wicked ways ways of life!
Ezekiel 33

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 6
