And the LORD God of their fathers sent warnings to them by His messengers, rising up early and sending them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place. But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy. (2 Chronicles 36:15 - 16)

The two verses we have chosen as our text are very powerful scriptures. Allow me to say early on in this message the God who spoke this world into existence will always do right by His people.

Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25). Note! The scripture says He had compassion on His people. May I remind us that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He has compassion on us as well. What about the law of the Kingdom of God; what is it? The law is God's word. It contains the mind of God, it is God. His will runs from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is the book of all books. Please understand this, when God's children are obedient to God's law (His Word) this automatically brings us into conflict with the values of the culture we live in, for our culture as a whole does not subscribe to God's laws.

I want to further say, if the laws of the government defies the law of God, we must be obedient to God's law. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up. (Daniel 3:18). There are many people in God's word who put their lives on the line to obey God's word. Remember, obedience to God is better than sacrifice. Oh! that we'll become hungry for God's word.
