Isaiah, Chapter 51, verse 7:
7 Hear me, you who know justice, you people who have my teaching at heart: Do not fear the reproach of others; remain firm at their reviling’s.

What is God’s justice and what teaching should we have at heart?

The Old Testament established the seven laws of Noah, or the Noahide Laws which were given by God as binding on all of humanity.  Any person who adheres to these is regarded as righteous and is assured a place in the world to come.

These laws are:
1.      Do Not Deny God
2.      Do Not Blaspheme God
3.      Do Not Murder
4.      Do Not Engage in Incestuous, Adulterous or Homosexual Relationships.
5.      Do Not Steal
6.      Do Not Eat of a Live Animal
7.      Establish Functioning Courts of Law
