The fun you had discovering the game and the confidence you developed by learning the rules from your coach. Now think of how hard (or impossible) it would have been to play those games without any rules! God's didn't give us His precepts (or rules), commands and laws because He wanted us to fail in life and receive a just punishment. He gave them to us because He loves us. He gave them to us so we can recognize He is true. He is our life's coach. He gives us commands of love so our hearts can be set free to follow Him. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 1998 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
