DO you love the Law? In Deuteronomy 4 Moses tells the People to not forget the words of the Law. He instructs them to follow them that they may live. Jesus Later says those that Love him will obey his commands.  The love of the law is the mark of any true lover of Christ. Those who preach Christ without a love of law are false followers. This is not an attack on grace which is needed because no man can fully obey the law and those who try are already breaking the law of love because they are trying by their own strength and thus spitting on the gift of God. Verse 5 says that the reason Moses taught them the law was so that the people might lay hold of the promised land. The law or rules if you will are not the way to salvation but anyone who hates ‘s instruction is not of him no matter how much they espuse so called love. Love is only love when built on a foundation of justice. Proverbs says that the man who hates discipline lacks understanding and indeed we should praise God for his correction and guidelines for his interference proves that He loves us. Thus when people say that you can be cursed because you do not give tithe or something like that in a way they are right. Whether tithe applies to the New Testament believer is a whole other issue, the point is God does curse especially works of his own errant children in the hope that they will turn. Law reveals the path to God. Grace pays the fair.  Paul put it best when he talked about the slave that has authority over the child until that child is of Age.
