The Laws and Orders of God
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The first book, Genesis, set in order the Laws of God on earth. The blessing which was bestowed on Adam (Genesis 1:28) is repeated, since Noah and his sons were the heads of a new race. The divine benediction would hearten them to undertake the task of rebuilding a revived world. The Law of God embraces the whole of life with all its actions, and as none of these actions can be withdrawn from the unity of life, so can the law be excluded from more of them. Many things, therefore, that affects only the physical life come under the purview of that Law. A healthy soul in a healthy body is clearly its ideal. The regulations prescribed in these chapters are means toward the attainment of that end and therefore, a spiritual purpose and eternal worth.

About the Book
I have searched and surveyed the Books of the Pentateuch and found many Laws that God has set forth in the beginning. God also set the orders. God has placed in order the food diet. Man’s most sacred privilege is freedom of will; the ability to obey or disobey his maker. This sharp limitation of self-gratification, this dietary law, was to test the use he would make of his freedom; and it thus begins the moral discipline of man. Unlike the beast, man has also a spiritual life, which demands the subordination of man’s desires to the Law of God. The will of God revealed in His Law is the one eternal and unfailing guide as to what constitutes good and evil, and not man’s instincts, or even his reason, which in the hour of temptation often will light darkness and darkness light. These laws and orders that he wills out and tries to the best of his ability to explain, is to be obeyed until God says otherwise. The author will point out other laws and orders in this book.
