We read in Holy Scripture, “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill”. (Matthew 5:17) What this signifies is that Christ incarnated upon this earth, for the betterment of humankind so as to take the Mosaic law, which had often been misinterpreted and misused, to make it thereupon clear that God had a new covenant which Christ was here to fulfill and therefore what the Messiah did and preached, was of the upmost importance to humankind, and thus the future direction of the people that populate this world. This signifies that a careful study of what Christ so represents is vital to the understanding of what God’s natural law means and the importance so of, for all of us. That said, not everyone who takes upon themselves the aura of Christianity or the belief that Christ has his place, has got it right, for there are many that take the words written in the Bible and get it horribly wrong, knowingly or unknowingly, which is why each of us needs to take responsibility to hear and to comprehend the Word and to do right by the law of that Word.
In this world, we will suffer trials and we will be tried, and those found wanting, will suffer the consequences of their mistakes, for injustice and wrong deeds so done here, must in the skeins of time, be straightened out, or else there will not be continual justice and righteousness in the dimension beyond. This means that it is our responsibility to not only to know the law, but to live out and up to its tenets to the best of our ability, for we are each responsible for who and what we are, and each of us, alone, will have to face the consequences of what we have done in our lives, come judgment day.
Therefore, understanding our individual responsibilities is of paramount importance. To the extent that we heed the revealed pathway that will safely lead us to the only destination worth pursuing, the better it will be for us. However, we must first understand how we are supposed to behave and act, which clearly indicates that in our interactions, without exception, that we need to be honest, forthright, considerate, caring, patient, generous, giving, strong-minded, ethical, and seekers of justice. Those then, that treat their fellow compatriots with the respect all are due because each has been equally created by God, and make it their point to do right by their neighbor, as if their neighbor was their own self, are the very same that are progressing; and while it is true, that none of us are perfect or will be perfect, it is not expected that we be perfect, for as long as we put forth effort and energy to not only to do the right thing, but to think the right thing, it will be well. Indeed, while Christ fulfilled the law, it isn’t good enough for us to just acknowledge that, for we must also live it, or else we have not successfully applied the lessons so learned.
