    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,186 views

    Laws laid down by God for right and wrong determine the destiny of the human race, and of individuals. Only when man comes to the Light, and he is revealed for what he is in the true light of God, then he can understand who he truly is in the sight of God.

The good a person has, is measured against the standard of man for what is good and evil. That is why the world can say, “He ...read more
