Nehemiah,
Chapter 5, Verse 9
I
continued: “What you are doing is not good. Should you not conduct yourselves
out of fear of our God rather than fear of the reproach of our Gentile
enemies?
What
is good? Doing God’s justice is the only good. What is the attitude we should
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 (even Gentile enemies) and is assured a place
in the world to come.
These
laws are:
1.
Do

Do
Not Blaspheme God
3.
Do
Not Murder

Do
Not Engage in Incestuous, Adulterous or Homosexual Relationships.
