THE LAW OF GOD
Throughout much of Christian history, there has been much confusion and misunderstanding as to what constitutes the law of God and whether or not any or all of it applies to Christians today. This study gives some unique insights into God's eternal purpose for humanity through the goodness and love of his law. This study also shows how the first humans came under the authority of the law, how the law applies to Christians today, how it will apply to humanity after the return of Christ, and how to have a closer walk with God in a more dynamic and spiritual way through obedience to his law.

Understanding Genesis Chapter 3
The Book of Genesis contains the record of humanity's beginning. Genesis contains the
foundation and basis of all subsequent biblical revelation concerning the salvation of
humanity and the law of God. This study shows what really occurred when Adam and Eve ate
the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and how this one act of
rebellion made all humanity subject to the law of God and the death penalty for the
violation of this law. (20 pages) b4w1
Are Christians
Required to Keep the Ten Commandments?
Today, the world is filled with hatred, murder, violence, wars, lying, cheating, and
sexual perversion, yet most professing Christians claim that they are not required to
keep the Ten Commandments. Few professing Christians seem to realize that the problems of
the world are the result of violating the foundational laws of God, which are meant to
regulate human attitudes and behaviors. This study shows the logic behind the foundational
laws of God and the benefits that come through their practice. (32 pages) b4w2

of God's law by the elect of God today. (24 pages) b4w3
Circumcision Law
When God made the first agreement with national Israel at Mount Sinai, he required all the
males to be circumcised as an outward sign of this agreement. The men who asked the

This study explains the doctrine of circumcision from the perspective of both the
old and new agreements. (5 pages) b4w4

Law of Moses
Most people who study the Bible believe that the Law of Moses consists of the Ten
Commandments and the law of the sacrificial system. Moreover, they believe that this law
was canceled when Jesus Christ was crucified. This study explains what the Law of Moses is
and it answers the question concerning whether or not this law is binding on the
elect of God today. (9 pages) b4w6
Added Law of Galatians 3:19
Galatians 3:19 is often quoted to prove that the laws concerning sacrifices were not a
part of the original law of God. This study shows that the sacrifices and the law that God
gave to Moses are God's law and this law did not originate from Moses. Moreover, this
study shows that the sacrificial law is not an added law, which the King James and several
other modern versions of Galatians 3:19 seem to indicate. (9 pages) b4w7

principles which can enrich your personal relationship with other people, God the
Father, and Jesus Christ. (47 pages) b4w8
What Is Usury?
Usury was one of the few laws given to ancient Israel that required the death penalty for
its violation. God equates taking usury (interest) on something loaned as and abomination.
On the surface the law of usury seems harsh and unfair. But is it? This study shows how
this little known law provides tremendous physical and spiritual blessings for those who
practice it. (24 pages) b4w9
Law of Clean and Unclean Meats
For many years, the question of whether the dietary law mentioned in the books of
Deuteronomy and Leviticus must be followed by the elect of God today. This study explores
the reasons God gave these laws to ancient Israel and whether or not they should be
practiced by the elect of God today. (12 pages) b4w10
