We in modern society do not like having too many rules placed on us. We often feel that it takes away our individual freedom. Jacobs gives us a different take. What are your thoughts?
If we look at the rules of the Bible with an open heart, we often find that rules were given for the Israelites protection. They are a sign of His mercy and compassion. (p.176) Can you give an example of a rule that seems harsh at first glance but is actually for protection?
I LOVE this!!! So the way I tell my daughters about God's best for us. Not rules, but protection. He desires His absolute best for us!
