We live at a time when many professing Christians believe that the laws of God are a burden, that they are out of date or that they are simply unnecessary!
Such ideas overlook the fact that God gave His laws to the nation of Israel so that it could be a light to the world (Deuteronomy 4:1-10). These negative ideas about the laws of God also overlook the fact that David spoke of his love and delight in God’s law (Psalm 119:16, 97, 127) and that David asked God to “Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law” (Psalm 119:18).
Many New Testament Christians also overlook the words of the Apostle Paul, who said that “the law is holy, and the commandment [is] just and good” and “I delight in the law of God” (Romans 7:12, 22).
What modern critics of the laws of God fail to realize is that these negative attitudes are part of a prophesied end-time apostasy by Israelite peoples who would “rebel” against the laws of God (Hosea 8:1).
God warned end-time Israel, “I have written for him the great things of My law, but they were considered a strange thing” (Hosea 8:12).
Many professing Christians will be surprised when Jesus Christ returns and places David and the saints on thrones to teach His laws to the entire world (see Hosea 3:5; Isaiah 2:2-4; 30:20-21). This is the exciting future for those who love the laws of God!
