Rules and the Rule Giver

Now that we know God exists and has created all things including human beings (you and I) shouldn't we thank Him for giving us life? But how are we to do that? He has explained to us in His Word (The Bible) the rules which we are to live by.

Isn't that great? We aren't left to wander around on this earth trying to figure out what we should do or if it is right or wrong; He's even given us some guidelines to live by. Now who would know what is best for us than the One who created life itself?

Just in case we have trouble understanding His Word (the Bible), He has placed these rules in our minds so we have no excuse for why we are living in a way that does not honor Him. Our conscience, that God has placed in us, tells us that we should not lie, steal or hate another person! It makes perfect sense that we should not look with lust, desire that which belongs to another person or even be naughty to our parents. We should take time to rest, worship God alone and not idolize anyone or anything above Him. And we should certainly not curse His Name!

Remember, He has created all things including us, He is even responsible for the air we breathe. His rules are not a burden to us and we, with gladness, should strive to follow His rules.
