WE ESTABLISH THE LAW
Antidisestablishmentarianism. The longest word in the Enlish language has to do with being against disestablishing the church as the state church. We do believe in the separation of state and church, but only in the sense that no one church denomination is to be the state church. We do not, however, believe in the separation of God's law from the state. We believe in establishing the law as part of the legal establishment.

The law of Moses is the law of God. This law was the basis for the laws of the early United States. It is to be established as the law for all nations. We are not talking about the letter of it, but the spirit of it. The principles of God's law are to be applied and established as the law of each and every nation. This goodness of God will lead all men towards repentance because the law is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Yes. You can legislate righteousness. The law cannot save us, but its function is to bring us to the one who can save us. Without the knowledge of sin, we would not come to Christ. This knowledge comes only by means of the law.
