''𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗢𝗙 𝗜𝗧?'' (𝗟𝗨𝗞𝗘 𝟭𝟬:𝟮𝟲)

This means how do you know and understand the Law.

As many people do nowadays, this lawyer also thought that God gave him the Law for him to keep. So he answered, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”

The Law was without fault. He gave us a perfect Law. He told us to love the Lord with all our heart and with all our soul, with all our strength and mind and to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is right for us to love our God with all our heart and our strength, but it was the holy word that could never be kept.

“What is your reading of it?” means that the Law is right and correct, but how do you understand it? The lawyer thought that God gave it for him to obey. But the law of God was given so that we might know our shortcomings and expose our iniquities completely. It exposes our sins, “You have sinned. You killed when I told you not to kill. Why did you disobey Me?”

The Law exposes the sins in people’s hearts. Let’s suppose that on my way here, I saw ripe watermelons in the field. God warned me by the Law, “Don’t pick those watermelons to eat. It will shame Me if you do.” “Yes, Father.” “The field belongs to Mr. so-and-so, and therefore you should never pick them.” “Yes, Father.”

The moment we hear by the Law that we should never pick them, we feel a strong urge to pick them. If we push down a spring, it tends to push up at us in reaction. The sins of people are just like that.

God told us never to do evil. God can say that because He is holy, because He is complete, because He has the ability to do so. On the other hand, we can ‘never’ not sin and ‘never’ do good. We ‘never’ have good in our hearts. The Law says never (it was stipulated with the word ‘never’). Why? Because people have lust in their hearts. We act on our lust. We commit adultery because we have adultery in our hearts.

We should read the Bible carefully.
