The Prime Law

A Sinner's Guide to Democracy

About this book

People are starving for unity in the storm called government. Repairing national disunity depends not on external political or social change, but on the internal process of rediscovering individual humility, for that disunity is but a shared projection of our internal conflict, our sin. Sin--that obsession with "self-interest" and "image"--has blinded people to the ultimate remedy: loving God and loving others as we love ourselves. That is God's Prime Law, a superior love infusing perfection into imperfect lives and relationships, including those comprising government.Difficult journeys exact a cost. Like Job's ordeal before God, people must be stripped down to their bare essence to reveal that their true identity is not in an image, but in a relationship of love with God. Only then can they hear and beneficially apply The Prime Law. Their enduring freedom is a function of their devotion to maintaining that Law. Every individual reborn in Christ, having received their ultimate freedom under God, understands this devotion and its potential for creating a more perfect union.
