KNOW THE LORD: DIFFERENCE IN “THE LAW” & “HIS LAW”


Let us pay attention to these: —

●1● We are not under the Law but under grace, and we are under His Law. There is difference between “THE LAW” and “HIS LAW.”

●2● “The Law” came by Moses, but “His Law (Grace and Truth)” came by Jesus Christ. [John 1:17].

●3● The LORD Himself is Law and Law-giver: Lordship means Law. To say you are not under any law is to say you are not under any Lord

●4● You don't have to keep the Commandments or the Law, but you must keep His Commandments or His Law.

●5● By the deeds of the law shall no flesh be justified, but by deeds of His Law shall all Comers be justified.

●6● By the Law came the knowledge of sins, but by His Law came the knowledge of the LORD.

There's a scam that makes people think or believe they know the Lord without keeping His Law. Knowing the LORD, even knowing Jesus Christ, is beyond knowing His, His earthly History or story, or songs sang about Him etc., — Knowing The Lord Jesus Christ is rooted in keeping His Law or His Commandments. A man is a liar, deceiver, or scammer, if the man says he knows the Lord but does not keep the Lord's Law/Commandments. Please pay great deal of attention to the next two Bible references:

[1 John 2:3-4 Logos] — "Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

[Luke 6:46-49 Logos] — ""But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say? Everyone who comes to Me, and hears My words and does them, I will show you to whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep and laid a foundation on the rock. And when a flood occurred, the stream burst upon that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who hears and does not do is like a man building a house on the ground without a foundation, against which the stream burst upon; and immediately it fell. And the destruction of that house was great.""

Again, calling Him LORD is recognizing Him as Law and Law-giver: if you are not keeping His Law or Commandments you do not know Him as LORD, but maybe you know Him as Savior, Miracle-Worker, Healer, Awesome, Sweet Jesus, no one like Him etc., as found in many of the Christian worship songs and praises that now flood waves. Of all the titles or descriptions you know of the LORD or Jesus Christ, He is more interested in you knowing Him as “The LORD” — YHWH. Know Him as the LORD or as YHWH — This means knowing Him as LAW, LAW-GIVER, COMMANDER OR THE JUDGE. Every other thing you know or call Him bows to knowing Him as the LORD.

Knowing, calling or describing Him as Savior, Miracle-Worker, Healer, Awesome, Sweet Jesus, no one like Him, and the titles used to refer to Him in almost 80% of the songs and testimonies that now fill churches and Christians community are inferior to this one Title or Knowledge of Him — The LORD or YHWH. And no man knows Him as the LORD in truth without that man keeping or obeying His Commandments or Law. This is also the same Title or Knowledge of Him — The LORD — He shall force every man to know in Judgment and by Force of War. He bound by oath to make everyone know Him as the LORD and to make all Tongues confess Him as the Lord.

He swore that oath as the Lord, saying:

[Romans 14:11BSB] - It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.”

[Philippians 2:11 BSB] — and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is more serious than keeping the laws or ethics or codes of conducts of all the nations — until one keeps His Commandments or His Law. You see why even if a man keeps all the laws of morality, all the laws of religion or laws of nations, so that the man is righteous, blameless, upright and a man of integrity, like some Muslims are, but the same man does not know Him as the LORD because the man did not keep His Law/His Commandments though the man is righteous — still He will judge the righteous man who kept the laws and destroy that righteous Muslim, that righteous Buddhist, that righteous Pagan, that righteous Atheist, that Ethics/Ethical Professional, that Moral law doer etc, to make such man to know Him as the LORD by keeping His Law, not just any laws or righteousness principles.

(Ezekiel 11:12 - FBV) - "Then you will know that I am the Lord. For you didn't follow My rules and you didn't keep My laws. Instead you kept the laws of the nations around you.”"

(Ezekiel 11:12 - LBP) - "And you shall know that I am the LORD; for you have not walked in My statutes, neither executed My judgments, but have followed after the ordinances of the Gentiles that are round about you."

The people targeted in the main Bible verse in Red were keepers and doers of the laws, ordinances, customs, traditions and ethics, of the people and nations where they were. As professionals they kept the ethics of professional practices; as religious they kept religious rituals and ordinances; as traditional and customary they observed the ways of the people and of the lands, as citizens they abide by the statutory provisions and constitution of the nations — They were Law Abiding.

But all their righteousness is as filthy Rags because they kept the Law but did not keep “His Law” neither knew Him as the LORD.

Therefore, the Judgment that shall befall them will fulfill execution of the Law or Commandments of the LORD upon them and when they shall know Him as the LORD shall also be when they shall be destroyed for their lack of knowledge of Him as the LORD. My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge of the LORD, YHWH.

Imagine of I give my wife a command to do “A,” but a pastor/priest, her boss or her biological father/mother/friends tell her to do “B,” which is also good or better than doing “A” which I her husband commanded her to do: If she eventually do “B” instead of “A,” she will still be a good listener to advice or counsel or obedient: but there is a problem she kept the commandment but not my commandment — she succeeded but not by my instruction. I will severely deal with her to a degree that whatever success or achievement she gained by doing “B” would be totally consumed and destroyed, and she will regret it, and she shall know I am her lord, and not any other man on earth.

You see, to know the Lord involves His Laws or Commandments. One of the Promises of the New Covenant is that people will come to a point where they no longer need any teacher to teach them to know the Lord because they shall all know the LORD by His Laws written in their hearts. By His Law/Commandments written in their Hearts is their knowledge of the Lord, and the knowledge of the Lord shall fill the earth as the waters cover the seas.

[Hebrews 8:10-11] — "For this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, said the LORD, I will put My law into their minds, and I will write it on their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And no man shall teach his neighbor, neither his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for all shall know Me, from the youngest to the oldest."
