Legislating morality

If mankind/society cannot find a way too simply obey two laws, how can we rationalize adding more laws to the books?

If two can’t or won’t be followed, then will the third or fourth or the millionth be followed? 

When federal laws were first volumized in 1927, they fit into a single volume. By the 1980s, there were 50 volumes of more than 23,000 pages. There have been more added since then.

We will never legislate morality, we will never stop what is in mankind’s heart, until we deal with the problem.

We are sinners, we are rebellious we believe we are right, but yet we are so wrong in how we think, how we live, how we blindly follow the lust of our hearts.

Government, University’s, Religious institutions and us as individuals do not want to deal with the reality that until we admit we are sinners, repent and turn our lives over too Christ Jesus, we are hell bound and lost, we have no hope, no self control, no peace, no way out, without Him.

If these entities acknowledged the truth, then it would cost them power, money and control and none of us want too give up any of these.

This is why each of us must choose to either submit to God as Lord and Savior, or condemn ourselves, it is not the responsibility of others for our choices, it is ours.

Today you can choose to make a difference by simply submitting too the complete authority of Christ Jesus in your life, you and only you can make that choice.

There is hope for mankind/society and He is the only hope for us all, His name is Christ Jesus, I wonder do you know Him?

God’s word says this:
“When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they came together. And one of them, an expert in the law, asked a question to test him: “Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.” Matthew 22:34-40 CSB

“What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war within you? You desire and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and wage war. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. You adulterous people! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the friend of the world becomes the enemy of God.”
James 4:1-4 CSB

“Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus — he has inaugurated for us a new and living way through the curtain (that is, through his flesh ) — and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed in pure water. Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful. And let us watch out for one another to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.”

Hebrews 10:19-25 CSB
