Bible Texts: Rom.7:1-2, Matt.22:35-38, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.6:1, Rom.8:1, Rom.7:24-25, Ps.24:1-2, Acts 10:36, Jn.3:5-7, Philp.2:13
Know ye not, brethren, for I speak to them that know the law, how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth, but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband (Rom.7:1-2)
The Scripture above talks about the law of God that governs the husbandman and understanding the law and doing what the law of God commands will empower the husbandman to have a quality walk with Jesus Christ. The law of God for the husbandman is the principles of in the Word of God which guide, direct, instruct, guard and measure the life of the husbandman towards becoming the good and godly man, husband and father.
Now what is the foundation of law of the husbandman?
The firm foundation is for you to have solid relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Then one of them, a lawyer asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment (Matt.22:35-38)
As the husbandman, your relationship with Jesus Christ is your first commitment and you must love Jesus Christ with all that you have-your heart, soul, mind and body. Jesus must be Lord over all in your life, and fellowship with Him is the beginning of a healthy relationship with others. When you have a quality and healthy relationship with Jesus Christ, you become a better person in your thought, conduct, action, responses and reaction.
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away, behold all things have become new (2Cor.5:17)
The love of Christ in your heart is the firm foundation upon which all other principles of Scriptures are cultivated, nurtured and obeyed.
Therefore, pursue and remain in love with God through Jesus Christ.
