permit me name your cognizance to the truth that God wrote at the tables of stone at Sinai in addition to at the wall of Belshazzar’s palace.
These are the one messages to males that God has written together with his personal hand. He wrote the commandments out two times, and spoke them aloud within the listening to of Israel.
If it have been identified that God Himself was once going to talk once more to guy, what eagerness and pleasure there will be. for almost nineteen hundred years He has been silent. No encouraged message has been further to the Bible for almost nineteen hundred years. How eagerly all males might pay attention if God should still converse once again. but males overlook that the Bible is God’s personal notice, and that it's as really His message to-day as whilst it was once introduced of previous. The legislations that used to be given at Sinai has misplaced none of its solemnity. Time can't put on out its authority or the actual fact of its authorship.
I can think a few one saying—“I won’t be weighed through that legislations. I don’t think in it.”

Now this is often God’s legislations. It has come from on excessive, and infidels and skeptics need to admit that it truly is natural. Legislatures approximately around the globe undertake it because the starting place in their criminal systems.
“The legislation of the Lord is ideal, changing the soul: the testimony of the Lord is natural, making clever the easy: the statutes of the Lord are correct, rejoicing the center: the commandment of the Lord is natural, enlightening the eyes.”
Now the query for you and me is—are we retaining those commandments? Have we fulfilled all of the necessities of the legislation? If God made us, as we all know He did, He had a correct to make that legislations; and if we don’t use it aright it should were higher for us if we had by no means had it, for it is going to condemn us. we will be discovered short of. The legislation is okay, yet are we right?
