The
law of God was the guide by which Israel enjoyed the balance of powers.
Not only did the law address the needs of lower and upper class. but it
provided the protection for individual rights. The King may have had
absolute power to pronounce death but he was still under the constraints
of Gods law. You will find that the king could not take personal
vengeance upon those who were guilty of war crimes. No one was allowed
to take personal vengeance. God provided the people with the same
individual rights as we enjoy in this country. The scripture teaches
that when man fell into sin the total corruption was exposed by Gods
eternal government. So grace not only involves matters that are narrowed
down the spread of the gospel through missionary endeavors. But we must
understand that all human governments are under Gods eternal governing
laws that address the different obligations in relationships of people
that have no distinction between political and religious interaction.
Grace is the standard by which each man enjoys absolute freedom in Gods
economy. We are taught in the bible that all speech is measure by God
according to His moral law. Every word from the beginning of time has
been scrutinized by God as He has created man with his own governing
authority. He has given each man absolute rule over his kingdom. The
authority of man is according to Gods nature. Man was made like God. But
because of sin man was cursed with a violent nature. The violent nature
is described as any communication that redefines Gods word. So when the
bible talks about the house of Israel, nature of man, law of God,
ability and inability of will it is in the context of blessing and
cursing. So God created man as one and made the world in the structure
of the unity of His entire law. There is no difference between political
speech and religious speech. There is only moral speech that is the
expression of the total ability of man to rule over his kingdom
according to Gods word that either prevents or allows as God measures
every plan that man has devised in the long history from the beginning
of time is that by which Gods renewal of all things is brought about.
God uses both good and evil to bring about His ends.
