General Welfare Laws

Here we see some moral directives. Interspersed with some of them are some more rules in regards to morals. He forbid some mixing of animals, crops, and even clothing. These are practices that are done only with Israel and no other nation. That really sets them apart and makes them even that much more special.

God is and should be our motivator to keep His laws. It is like a child who wishes to please. That child's motivation is his parents. He wants to do anything that will make Mom and Dad happy. This is how we, as adults should be with God. If we love Him as much as we say we do, we should want to do all we can to please Him. Holiness is a positive and even an active trait. How can we display it? In what we do. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying works is how we get to heaven, but the works we do, produces fruit and the fruit we produce in our personal lives will reflect the dedication we have and the love we have to our Lord and Savior! If we do not produce fruit, then I feel it really show where our hearts our.

We can see a lot of people out there preaching the word to others and inviting them to church, but when we look deep into that persons life, where is the real fruit. How are their personal lives. You know the ones behind the scenes! Those are the fruit I am speaking of. How are your fruits? Are they the same size they were 2 years ago? Have they gotten smaller? Or are they gr owning and becoming more and more mature?
