Only One Lawgiver

"There is one lawgiver,  who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?"  James 4:12.  God is the lawgiver.  His law is for all men at all times.  His law must be obeyed to the letter.  There can be no omission of any part of His law.  His law serves for the betterment of humanity.  As the one lawgiver, He has the power to enforce His law.  There are blessings if His law is followed.  There are consequences if His law is not obeyed.  Those who obey God's law will be saved and those who disobey will be destroyed.  As the lawgiver, God is the judge.  God is a judge that is always fair and impartial.  God is never harsh with His judgment.   His judgment, however, follows the law that has been given.  Each one reaps according to His keeping of the law.  Upon those who do good, they shall be rewarded for their goodness.  Upon those who do evil, they will receive the divine judgment of the lawgiver.  Only God has the power to judge.  Since no human has given the law, no human is to judge.  We are to leave all judgment unto God.  We are to adjust our own lives to the law.  Only the judgment of God counts.  God is the only judge who knows all the circumstances.  God is the only judge that that can know what is within the heart of each one and the reason that all act as they act.  Therefore, let us follow the law and allow God to render judgment.
