God's law is that we should put God first in our lives, functioning under Him as loving, obedient sons and daughters. We must listen to Him, obey Him, and be prepared to do His bidding, whatever it is. We break God's law whenever we fail to love Him or whenever we harm our fellow man. The Holy Spirit, or the living, indwelling Jesus Christ, gives life and changes us to the core. It writes the law on our heart, winning our deepest delight, admiration and trust. It breaks the power of cancelled sin. The aim of God is that Jesus gets exaltation and that we get liberation.

What You'll Learn
God's law is that we should put God first in our lives
God's law is based on loving God and our fellow man, so we break God's law whenever we fail to love Him or whenever we harm our fellow man. We are commanded in Scripture not to be drunk: "And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18).
The Holy Spirit, or the living, indwelling Jesus Christ, changes us to the core. He writes the law on our heart and breaks the power of cancelled sin. The aim of God is that Jesus gets the exaltation and that we get the liberation.
God, being perfectly holy, must punish sin. He must enact justice, being a perfectly just God—even for those sins already committed. We have all sinned and have all carried out high treason against God when we committed even one sin (breaking just one of God’s laws).
Putting God first in our lives will enable us to live more joyful lives with the Lord. When we set up anything above God in our life, we are setting an idol above God. The Lord is clear that we must not have idols (Exodus 20:1-26: 1 John 5:21). As Christians, our top priority in life needs to be God and serving Him.

We break God's law whenever we fail to love Him or harm our fellow man
God's law is that we should put God first in our lives, functioning under Him as loving, obedient sons and daughters. We must listen to Him, obey Him, and be prepared to do His bidding. We break God's law whenever we fail to love Him or harm our fellow man. This harm to another, be it theft, adultery, murder, or false witness, usually begins in our inner being. God added to the law a prohibition against coveting, a mental sin.
The Spirit, or the living, indwelling Jesus Christ, gives life and changes us to the core. He writes the law on our heart, winning from us our deepest delight, admiration and trust. He breaks the power of cancelled sin, with the aim that Jesus gets the exaltation and that we get the liberation.
We have all sinned and have all carried out high treason against God when we committed even one sin. We all sinned in Adam as well. When he sinned, we all sinned too. We should be careful that our anger does not lead to sin. We are commanded in Scripture not to be drunk, but to be filled with the Spirit.

The Spirit writes the law on our heart
The Holy Spirit would not lead us to break God's law. God's law is that we should put God first in our lives, functioning under Him as loving, obedient children. We must listen to Him, obey Him, and be prepared to do His bidding. We break God's law whenever we fail to love Him or whenever we harm our fellow man.
We have all sinned and have all carried out high treason against God when we committed even one sin (breaking just one of God’s laws). We all sinned in Adam as well. When he sinned, we all sinned too. However, we are commanded in Scripture not to be drunk: “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).

We are commanded in Scripture not to be drunk
This is because God's law is that we should put God first in our lives. We must listen to Him, obey Him, and be prepared to do His bidding, whatever it is. We break God's law whenever we fail to love Him or whenever we harm our fellow man. Since harm to another usually begins in our inner being, God added to the law a prohibition against coveting – a mental sin.
The aim of God is that Jesus gets the exaltation and that we get the liberation. Only the Spirit – the living, indwelling Jesus Christ – gives life. He changes us to the core. He writes the law on our heart. He wins from us our deepest delight and admiration and trust. And thus he breaks the power of cancelled sin.
However, this doesn't solve the problem of past sins and guilt. God, being perfectly holy, must punish sin. He must enact justice, being a perfectly just God – even for those sins already committed. We have all sinned and have all carried out high treason against God when we committed even one sin (breaking just one of God's laws).
