“For _by the law is the knowledge of sin_.” Rom. 3:20. See Rom. 7:7. 22. How many of the commandments is it necessary to break in order to become a transgressor of the law? “For _whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all_. For He that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, and yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.” James 2:10, 11. NOTE.—This shows that the ten commandments are a complete whole, and together constitute but one law. Like a chain of ten links, all are inseparably connected together. If one link is broken, the chain is broken. 23. How may we be freed from the guilt of our sins, or our transgressions of God’s law? “_If we confess our sins_, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9. 24. Why are we admonished to fear God and keep His commandments? “Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. _For God shall bring every work into judgment_, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” Eccl. 12:13, 14. 25. What will be the standard in the judgment? “So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be _judged by the law of liberty_.” James 2:12. 26. What is said of those who love God’s law? “_Great peace have they which love Thy law_: and nothing shall offend them.” Ps. 119:165. 27. What would obedience to God’s commandments have insured to ancient Israel? “O that thou hadst harkened to My commandments! _then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea_.” Isa. 48:18. 28. What is another blessing attending the keeping of God’s commandments? “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a _good understanding have all they that do His commandments_.” Ps. 111:10. 29. In what does the man delight whom the psalmist describes as blessed? “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But _his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night_.” Ps. 1:1, 2. See Rom. 7:22. 30. Why is the carnal mind enmity against God? “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: _for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be_.” Rom. 8:7. 31. How do those with renewed hearts and minds regard the commandments of God? “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and _His commandments are not grievous_.” 1 John 5:3. 32. What is the essential principle of the law of God? “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore _love_ is the fulfilling of the law.” Rom. 13:10. 33. In what two great commandments is the law of God briefly summarized?
