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
