The Law, Part 2

Genesis and the Law

One of the main arguments people use to try and say Christians do not have to keep the law is the argument that the law did not exist until it was given to Israel at the time of Moses. In this sermon Gary Smith presents the detailed evidence from the book of Genesis that the law existed from the time of the creation. First God created the physical laws that govern the universe, then the laws that govern plant and animal life. Finally, throughout the book of Genesis, we see evidence that God's spiritual law centered in the ten commandments existed from the beginning of human life on earth.
