Reform #11—“Jurisdictional In Our Moral Obligations”

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:15

“For every thing there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1

“The years of our life are seventy, or even by reason of strength eighty; yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away… So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:10-12

We strive to walk in the wisdom of God by trusting Him enough to actually obey Jesus command to love one another. We accomplish this in and through all four of the distinct Jurisdictions of God’s Kingdom on earth; in the Individual’s Conscience to whom God has entrusted His Own Righteousness by faith in Christ, in the Family-Household to which God has entrusted His Own Wealth by means of labor, both in bearing babies and in building business enterprises, in the local Church to which God has entrusted His Own Truth through the teaching of the Bible and, finally, the Civil Government to which God has entrusted His Own Justice by means of the Sword of Law Enforcement & the Military. Understanding the biblical role that each of these jurisdictions of God’s government play allows every believer to gain the wisdom needed to do the right things at the right times and for the right reasons.
