Have you ever wondered why Adonai gave us the law, the commands, the rules? Why is the law even necessary?
One of the purposes of the law was to correct for the partiality of humans. The righteous man may have the righteousness of Adonai (Torah) substantially written on His heart. He desires justice most of the time, but his weakness is his family, his friends–his prejudices. Those “like” or “with” him.
The law of Adonai (not to be confused with the law of men) is without partiality. When applied as given by Adonai, the law achieves its purpose–it brings truth, fairness, and impartiality to the affairs of men. Nevertheless, man battles and harangues to insert his prejudices. This is at the heart of much of organized religion–it seeks to define lines for which a person is kept in or kept out. These lines are often drawn to keep out those who are “different” from the dominant group. However, in its pure state, the law of Adonai is sweet, pure and impartial. It invites the greatest of sinners to become as pure as the driven snow. It knows no unredeemable human.
