Surrounded by God

What God showed among the prophets was this, God has shown you, man, what God requires of you, this is to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with God. Ten commandments consist of doing these things, and there are people doing what is in the ten commandments, though many more do not. It is good that God shows grace and there is a way of redemption provided in which there is restoration to God, but this works with faith that is the essential faith having repentance, which brings any with this to obedience to what God shows to do.

Two men with access to rifles witness a psychopathic killer in a school yard with a machete, killing innocent children. One obeys the written law and out of fear to losing his immortal soul refuses to kill this man who is shedding the blood of innocents. The other, full of love and compassion for the innocent children blows the head off the psychopath.

Which of the two will God condemn and which will he reward?

I tell you now that you can lie there is a time to steal
There is a time to disobey there is a time to kill
There is a work that must be done upon the Sabbath day
No one who understands the Lord would teach another way
For the Lord God judges . . . . not on what you do
The heart and soul of man HE searches through
It’s the reason . . . “WHY” the deeds of man are done
This is what the Lord God judges on.

Not the black and white letter of the law my friend.
