I Gave Them Statutes That Were Not Good (Ezekiel 20:25-26)
Why would God, being perfect, say he gave them statutes that were not good? How could the embodiment of what is good and just and holy give Israel statutes that were not good as he said in Ezekiel 20:25-26? What were these “not good” statutes? How do we make this make sense?
What exactly are the “good works” believers are created for? This teaching shows how the Torah defines and equips good works (2 Tim 3:16–17), why Yeshua upholds the Law (Matt 5:17–19), and how the Spirit empowers obedience (Ezek 36:27; Rom 8:4).
Scriptures (4–6):
Ephesians 2:8–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 5:16–19; Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:4; Revelation 14:12
Takeaway (1–2 sentences):
We’re not saved by works—we’re saved for works Scripture defines. In Yeshua, by the Spirit, we walk in Torah-shaped love (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3).
