“Laws are made to be broken!”

“What are you doing?”

“I’m having fun!”

“Fun? You’re breaking every law in the book.”

“Well, why not? It’s a free country”

“I just like to do what I want when I want and where I want. If you think the standard laws are good for you, then you can follow those. I follow my own laws.”

“Say, you might have something there.”

“I might?”

“I think I’ll write my own laws too. You know that five dollars I owe you?”

“Yeah, you got it?”

“Sure! In my law book this dirt clod equals five dollars. Here ya go!”

“Huh?”

“You’re making fun of me.”

“No, I’m just pointing out some things aren’t true just because you want them to be true. And also, there are things that are always going to be true whether you want them to be true or not.”

“For example, I’m making up a law that says from now on, this rock is going to fall upward.”

“Yikes! Watch the feet.”

“See?”

“There are certain basic laws of the universe that simply don’t change.”

“Hmmm… Come on rock, fly!”

“It doesn’t matter what laws I write… That rock’s still going to fall.”

“Yeeouch!!”

“Ooh, that smarts! Other than rocks don’t fly, what else is there?”

“Well, according to the Bible, when God made the earth, He made 4 laws that govern how we are to relate to Him.”

Law #1: God’s Love

“God created mankind and He wants to have a loving relationship with us forever.”

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness. (Jeremiah 31:3)”

Law #2: Our Problem

“Next, we need to recognize that our sin stands in the way of that relationship.”

“But our iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear. (Isaiah 59:2)”

Law #3 God’s Answer

“Knowing this, God came to Earth in the person of His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins and then rise from the grave so we can have eternal life with Him.”

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)

“For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit. (1 Peter 3:18)”

Law #4: Our Response

“Finally, in order for us to have this relationship with God that we were created to have, we need to place our trust in Christ to forgive our sins.”

“...Everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His [Christ’s] name. (Acts 10:43)”

“Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become Children of God. (John 1:12)”
