"The Law Of Jehovah Is Perfect"

"LAW is a bottomless pit, it. . . devours everything." That statement appeared in a book published back in 1712. Its author decried a legal system in which lawsuits somtimes dragged through the courts for years, bankrupting those seeking justice. In many lands, legal and judicial systems are so complex,so rife with injustice, prejudice and inconsistencies, that contempt for law has become widespread.

By way of contrast, consider these words written some 2,700 years ago: "How I do love your law!" (Psalm 119:97) Why did the psalmist feel so strongly? Because the law he praised originated, not with secular government, but with Jehovah God. As you study Jehovah's laws, you may come to feel more and more as the psalmist did. Such a study will give you insight into the greatest judicial mind in the universe.
