I should feel completely confident to walk out onto that crossing and know that I was safe and wasn't going to be run over by a car, but then as I was leaving that shopping centre in my car, I was at an intersection within the carpark indicating to go right and another car just overtook me on my right and went straight not taking any account for anyone else! I'm just glad I didn't go without checking - even from behind me!
There is a law that the creator put in place for the universe so we don't have to be in fear for safety and can live in freedom. Sometimes we might be unaware like the guy who overtook me, but then again he might have thought he was above the law and had more right than me, but I'm not sure which one, but he did seem oblivious to what the 'rule' was and just did his own thing.
God did give us His law as a safety net for us to live and enjoy life - if you look at all God has said, He knows His stuff!
Sometimes we do stuff up and that's where Jesus comes into it - He is our forgiveness! If we do break the law and effect other people, Jesus comes to us and shows us how to make things right again and bring back 'shalom' - balance and order to the universe.
God is good, and Jesus is that goodness - taste and see the truth in that and how relevant it is even today in this world where we are so 'self sufficient', but then again, are we really!?
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 2:21
