Thou Shalt!
Why do so many people have a negative view of God’s law? When properly understood, God’s law is the most positive and practical thing there is.
When most people think about God’s law, the overall impression is generally negative. God—at least the God of the Old Testament—is often perceived as a stern, wrathful God who angrily shouts, ‘Thou shalt not!’ But when God’s law is understood, it’s the most positive religion or philosophy there is. For every ‘thou shalt not,’ there is an implied positive command: ‘Thou shalt!’
