Jesus: Our Rescuer Seeking or searching for the Truth: Natural law Economic Law: (Numerous scriptural verses on financial guidance) Political and socio-law Moral laws  Scientific laws Spiritual Laws: In a sense, the spiritual cuts across all other laws as we shall see. Genesis 2:15   Exodus 24:3 Interesting reading from Exodus 20-24 Choices have consequences. What happens when these laws are broken: Here, I would like to outline the consequences of each  Economic Law:    Socio-political laws :  Moral laws:    Spiritual Laws:    This law of life can be put into the form of a question:. . . How did we get here? Why are we here? “How can we get back into a right relationship with God?”. Or back to the time when God said, “everything was  very good”.  Genesis 3: 1  We are all captives to sin When we break the commandment of God, our greatest problem is - a SIN against God. Deliberate, defiant choices made by the first Adam on earth served as roots to choices that would be made by sinners of future generation

Isaiah 61:1-4 Luke 4 : 16 - 20

Romans 5:18 Isaiah 1:18 (NKJV) "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. 2 Corinthians 4:7-8 —But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But

The Children of God Hebrews 13:15 The Pentateuch (Genesis – mankind as God’s special creation, the fall of man.) Exodus – means of becoming children of God (redemption Leviticus – means of approaching God. Numbers – means of serving God. Deuteronomy – means of continuing in obedience to God Emphasis: on the CORPORATE. ALL All under the blood. All passed through the sea. All wandered. All saw the vista with reminders of principles of success. TOGETHER The Blood? Our greatest need is the same, we are soteriologically levelled. The Sea? We have shared a very important experience. The Wandering & Worshipping? Endured & learned together. The Vista? Marvelled at together. Acts 2:3 And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. Historical beginning of fulfillment of John 14 and 15.

The Ultimate Question is ….. “ What must I DO to inherit Eternal Life ?” A question many ask today…this question infers that we have only TEMPORARY LIFE ….
