THE LAW OF YAHWEH

Once someone becomes convicted that there is a Deity that made this world and all that is therein, it is natural to want to know what His purpose for mankind is.

The seven day week that has been observed throughout human history leads man to the Bible, which is the only place in the world that tells where the seven day week originated. In the first chapter of the Bible it tells how that the Almighty Deity named Yahweh, made the world in six days and rested on the seventh day.

After Yahweh made mankind He gave them laws to live by that would make them happy and peaceful and content. These laws are known as the Ten Commandments. Yahweh eventually wrote these laws on two tables of stone. If you have a Bible you can read these laws in the second book, know as Exodus, chapter 20 verses 1-17.

The first four of the commandments tell mans duty to Yahweh and the last six describe mans duty to his fellowman. If these ten commandments were kept by all, then the world would be in peace and harmony. The only problem in this world is that the laws of the Creator are not being obeyed by His creatures.

The Ten commandments as written by the finger of Yahweh and recorded in Exodus 20 are as follows:

          1. Thou shalt have no other gods besides Yahweh.

          2. Thou shalt not make graven images and bow down and worship them.

          3. Thou shall not take the Name of Yahweh thy Elohim (God) in vain.

          4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

          5. Honour your Father and your mother.

          6. Thou shalt not murder.

          7. Thou shalt not steal.

          8. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

          9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor.

          10. Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbors.

These Ten Commandments are the definition of truth (Psalm 119:142), and they are the only way of true happiness. But all mankind lost their way and forgot Yahweh and thus we have the problems we have in the world today, mankind is out of harmony with his Creator.

Yahweh has one penalty for transgressing His laws and that penalty is death. Being that all mankind has sinned by transgressing the Creators laws, all mankind has come under the penalty of death. But Yahweh loved mankind so much that He has made a way that mankind can be forgiven and brought back into harmony with his Creator.
