Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for God’s glory.
1 Corinthians 10:31, HCSB
God created a home for us with all we need to enjoy Him and be with Him, so may we worship and honor Him in everything we do, thanking Him for all good things and every provision.
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord shines over you.
Isaiah 60:1, HCSB
God created everything to make a home for us and be with us, and He calls us to see His light and dwell with Him.
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2, HCSB
God created everything for us and to be with us, yet we often want this world more than Him. Let us be changed by the Holy Spirit to want Him and all that is good, to know good from evil and know Him more.
Then He told them, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.”
Mark 2:27, HCSB
Remember that God created not merely to show His power but to make a home for humanity. The Sabbath is for our good, and we obey God believing He knows what is best for us.
For the whole law is fulfilled in one statement: Love your neighbor as yourself.
Galatians 5:14, CSB
Peace comes from following God and doing what He has called us to. Loving others is the calling He has placed on all of us, sharing His peace and love to all people.
but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever.’” This makes Jesus the guarantor of a better covenant.
Hebrews 7:21-22, ESV
God called us to perfect obedience, but only God is able to make us perfect after our sin. The Old Covenant was based on obeying God’s Law, but the New Covenant is based on Christ’s obedience and love.
Believe in our High Priest who sacrificed Himself for us.
For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:18-19, ESV
God’s Law shows us how sinful we are. God Himself came to us as a human, perfectly obeyed the Law, and then took our place of punishment and became our High Priest. When we believe in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we are able to draw near to the One who first drew near to us.
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:13, ESV
God established His Law to show the impossible expectation of human perfection, that we live in perfect obedience. Then He came to us as Christ, and now we only need believe in His life, death, and resurrection to receive the perfection of Jesus our High Priest.
For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.
Hebrews 7:12, ESV
We could never save ourselves from God’s wrath and the sin revealed by His Law. When Jesus was established as our High Priest at His death and resurrection, we who put our faith in Him are no longer under the Law, but we obey out of love for our Lord.
I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:11, ESV
God’s Law is based on His character, who He is. When we truly take in His Word by the power of the Holy Spirit, it will change our character, our inner-selves, to be more like our holy and righteous God.
