       God’s law is sound, it is always correct. The issue for us is that we have broken God’s law. We cannot try to say that God’s law is immoral or wrong. If we do, we will lose out. God will win. And it isn’t that God’s law is causing us to sin either. What is causing us to sin? Yes, it’s that sin-nature that resides in us, that which we have inherited all the way back to Adam. What is the sin-nature? It’s that drive, the feeling, the other angel on our shoulder, telling us to question what God has said. It is to question God’s law. To say, “Did God really say this or that?” Or to say, “Yes, God said it, but he is incorrect in what he has said.” When a person becomes a Christian then, at the moment he or she accepts what Jesus has accomplished for them by his death and resurrection, he or she what? Well, the person accepts Jesus as Savior. But the person also accepts him as Lord.
