CAN LOVE BE LAW ? PART 2
( Please note that this subject matter is in reference to the thelema doctrine , the students of thelema doctrine seek to find their devine true will , so this is talking about what the real devine true will is ok )
Love cannot be a law but Love is grace
“The entire law is summed up in a single command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
- Galatians 5:14
Remember, Jesus is not a new Law giver. Jesus used the same Law, to bring those who claim who are under the Law to the end of themselves.
So when you come to God with the Law in your hand, God will use the same Law, masterfully to point you to Christ, His Son, the end of the Law. amen.
“So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith”
- Galatians 3:24
The love of God does not supersede His laws and His commandments, and the effect of God’s laws and commandments does not diminish the purpose and effect of His love
-------------------------------------------------------
In Ephesians 2, Paul speaks about God's grace saving us through faith. It isn't because of anything that we do (Law), but we are given Liberty because of the Love that God has for us. The interesting thing about this Liberty from God's Love is that, according to Paul, it should lead us to Law. According to Paul here, we aren't saved by our works, but we are saved for our works. As God's workmanship, we are created to do good works that God has set for us to do. We are set free so that we can serve. God's love rescues us so that we can live in obedience to Him. That is freedom. Not that we are free to be who we want, but that we are free to be who we were created to be. We are free to live according to God's desire for us. Nothing else could bring us more joy. Love is Liberty NOT Law, but it leads to obedience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.
