Stop Saying We ‘Broke God’s Law’ (Episode 7)
- Part of Discover Your Roots
Episode Summary
What do you think of when you hear the word “law”? Does it sound rigid, harsh, or punishing? Contrary to our modern assumptions, biblical law doesn’t work in the ways our law does today. When we look at the law of the Bible through the lens of Hebraic thought, it becomes something that reasons, rather than dictates. In the next two episodes, we’ll be reframing how we think about biblical law and the God who gave it to us.
