God gives us His Word because He loves us. Maintaining our gender differences and our gender roles is the most fulfilling way that we can live our lives. When we deviate from that which God has told us to do and do that which the devil has convinced our society to tell us, we simply repeat the pain of the Genesis 3 episode.

The only sexual relationship between a man and woman that shows a man’s respect for a woman is marriage. When a man has a sexual liaison with a woman to whom he is not committed, he is treating the woman as a whore, and God does not want his chosen people to participate in whoredom.

The less chronologically mature a woman is, the more effective the bonding hormone is in influencing her decision to disobey the Word of God and become sexually active with a man for whom she has emotional feelings but is not married, so God gives less chronologically mature women a parental bodyguard to keep the woman from making an immoral decision.

There is a Divine inheritance for each one that resolves to do as Jesus says and follow the commandment of God, which is how we worship and glorify God. Those in the world that do not know the Lord will offer us alternatives based upon their own imaginations and the prompting of the devil, but our allegiance to God is shown through our decision to follow the commandments of God.

God miraculously met the needs of the Israelites in the wilderness. And what did God ask in return? Love. And love, to God, meant the Israelites recognition of and gratitude for the great things that God did for them.

Godly leaders always have to make more objective decisions, because the leader’s job is to move the organization from “want to” to “ought to”. The leader cannot do that which he wants, but must do that which he ought; that which he is commanded to do by God.

The real test for any leader that God chooses to lead his people is whether or not the leader remembers that the real leader is God; the actual job of any Christian leader is simply to transmit the Word of God to the people.

If we are looking for guidelines as to how we should live, these laws tell us that which God said will please Him the most. God does not give us His Laws arbitrarily, just to see how tough He can be on us, but benevolently, so that by following His laws our lives will be improved.
