A Government With No Corruption

 LAWS

THE PROBLEM: At first, you might think that enacting new laws could improve matters.  However, experts have found that in many cases, increasing the number of laws just provides more opportunities for corruption.  Additionally, the legislation specifically intended to reduce corruption often costs much to implement yet accomplishes little.

THE SOLUTION: The laws of the Kingdom of God are vastly superior to those of human governments.  For example, rather than itemizing an expensive list of do and don'ts, Jesus gave what   is often called the Golden Rule.  He stated: "all things that you want men to do to you, you also do to them." (Matthew 7:12) Perhaps more significantly, the laws of the Kingdom focus on both motives and actions.  "You must love your neighbor as you love yourself," said Jesus, "(Matthew 22:39) Of course, God who can read the heart, could actually enforce such commands. - 1 SAMUEL 16:7.
