Question: If, in the duration of moses, the law was so difficult for the Israelites, next how can the laws still be applicable in our day?

Answer: People may say that the law was, or is, difficult. Yet, Scripture itself points to the untruth of that statement. It says in Deuteronomy 30:10-14, “whether you obey the LORD your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in that book of the law, whether you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and soul. For that commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and prepare us take in it, that we may observe it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and construct us manufacture out it, that we may observe it?’ But the word is very near you, in your

mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.”

The Scriptures themselves tell us that G-d has not asked us anything that is too difficult for us to do, and that we are completely capable of obeying His law. It is only self deception that convinces us that it is not possible. (more…)
