8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Matthew 15:8-9).
God is not just a God of rules and regulations. In fact, in many cases, our rules and regulations and not God’s are what are enforced. We should be most careful when we place burdens on others that what we are doing is both in scripture and part of the intent of scripture. It is in the intent of scripture that the true purpose is manifested. Therefore, when we interpret scripture and apply it to our daily lives it is necessary to ask the question, “What ought I to do in the sight of God in light of His purposes”.
