The society which the Sermon on Obedience supports is highly ordered and interconnected. Every function of the society is appointed by God and is part of a very delicate system in which everyone is defined by their relationship with others.

The problem with the way the Pharisees interpreted the law was that they didn’t give God the reverence that he deserved nor did they see man in the proper light as God’s masterpiece (Eph. 2:10)‚ as God’s precious creation made in his likeness.
