Presentation transcript:

Disrespect for authority is part of the fabric of our society – all are affected. Some say we are not under any law at all in religion - anything goes, and it has had its effect - rebellion in the ranks (Rom 8:1,2; 1Jhn 3:4) Some say we are "under grace and not law" therefore just do what you want and grace will cover it Some are simply ignorant of the law, not interested in what God has said This idea did not come from the Bible. God has always demanded exact obedience

NOAH TOLD EXACTLY WHAT TO DO IN BUILDING ARK Gen 6:13-17 EXACTNESS 2John 1:9-11 NOAH TOLD EXACTLY WHAT TO DO IN BUILDING ARK Gen 6:13-17 Noah did exactly as God said Gen 6:22; Heb 11:7 Those in ark were saved 1 Pet 3:20 NADAB & ABIHU MET GOD'S EXACTNESS Burn incense on the altar Ex 30:1-10 (note vs. 7) They burned incense in their own censer Lev 10:1 “Strange fire” is fire that God had not commanded. God devoured them with fire Lev 10:2

UZZAH'S DEATH SHOWS GOD'S EXACTNESS EXACTNESS 2John 1:9-11 UZZAH'S DEATH SHOWS GOD'S EXACTNESS Specific instructions regarding construction and transporting ark of the covenant Ex 25:10-14 Sons of Kohath were to transport it Num 4:15; 7:9 David later learned he had not carried it according to the law 2Sam 6:1-7

JEROBOAM DECIDED TO CHANGE GOD'S WILL 1Ki 12:26-33 EXACTNESS 2John 1:9-11 JEROBOAM DECIDED TO CHANGE GOD'S WILL 1Ki 12:26-33 A willful, deliberate decision to change the law – violating it Violated law regarding the place of worship Deut 12:1-6 Violated law regarding serving only Jehovah Ex 20:4-5 Violated law regarding only Levites being priests Num 3:9-10

WE ARE TAUGHT THE SAME EXACTNESS TODAY EXACTNESS 2John 1:9-11 WE ARE TAUGHT THE SAME EXACTNESS TODAY Speak as oracles of God1Pet 4:11; Don’t transgress 2Jhn 9; Preach no other gospel Gal 1:6-9; Don’t add to or take away Rev 22:18-19 We serve the same God as those in the Old Testament Things written before were for our learning Rom 15:4 REASON FOR ADHERING EXACTLY - GOD IS CREATOR, SAVIOR AND LORD We are clay, He is the potter. Isa 64:8; Jer 18:4; Rom 9:20,21 He has design in mind, not only of the immediate work, but of future things. Let him be God

God has a divine right to demand that we adhere exactly to His will EXACTNESS 2John 1:9-11 God has a divine right to demand that we adhere exactly to His will God also has a divine right to mete out punishment to those who will not adhere exactly to His will, because he is the creator and we are His creatures. Only way we can expect to receive God's grace is to make every effort to adhere strictly to His will

EXACTNESS 2John 1:9-11 Being human and subject to fleshly desires and being imperfect beings we will not adhere perfectly Rom 3:23, thus necessitating God's grace or mercy on our behalf which he extended in giving of His Son as a sacrifice for sin However, just because one died for us does not negate our responsibility to make every effort humanly possible to adhere strictly and exactly to God's will. The question, then remains, are you and am I doing exactly what God requires of us?
