God's meticulous arrangement of creation is among the things that are readily apparent. This is made clear by Genesis 1's narrative of the universe's creation. God made the universe to function and sequentially serve purposes. For example, the light bodies are designed to function in a certain order; for example, the sun rises in the east in the morning and sets in the west in the evening. Plants and other elements of nature react to the seasons as they occur, which happens at their given time.
God is by nature orderly and structured, as shown by the variety of his creation. Holiness, perfection, tranquility, grandeur, and light are all associated with orderliness. God interacts with humans through laws and regulations so that individuals can live in order and ultimately reflect God's splendor. He offered specific instructions on how the military, the Israelites' tabernacle, and their temple were to be operated, as well as record-keeping (Numbers 1, 2).
Though the law has been generally misconceived by man to be a burden, it is given to bring sanity and show us the way to light (Psalm 119:105). There is a distortion and confusion in the mind of a man bred by the Adamic sinful nature. The law of God is meant to tame and control this wild sinful nature in man. God gave the law based on His foreknowledge of the possible sin man can commit. The law as given in the Old Testament spelled out even sins man had not committed. The law was, therefore, given to checkmate the sinful nature of man as well (Galatians 3:23-24).
Sometimes we mistakenly believe that the law only applies to the Old Testament and that the New Testament is all about grace, and that there is no place for the law in our lives. However, we must not rely on the law as it was stated in the Old Testament. By living in Christ and being guided by the Holy Spirit, we are subject to the righteousness of God, which implies obedience to God's law. Orderliness and principle are inherent traits of God, and this fact is universal and timeless.
Whenever God has revealed Himself to people in a panoramic way, they have always confessed that His Majesty is adorned with an indescribable array of beauty and splendor (Isaiah 6:1-4, Revelation 1:9-18). Additionally, the life of Jesus, who is the complete image of God on earth, confirms the truth about the orderliness of God's nature. Jesus never acted out of expediency but always followed the principles of God's law, regardless of the circumstances (John 5:30). For example, when Jesus heard about the sickness of Lazarus, He did not go to him immediately to prevent his death, because that death was meant to reveal a higher glory of God (John 11:1-45). Similarly, when Jesus' time on earth was up, He acted accordingly (John 13).
Paul the apostle corrected the Corinthian Church on their disorderly conduct of worship, emphasizing that service to God must be orderly because He is a God of order (1 Corinthians 14:26-40). Today, some neo-charismatic Churches practice a frenzied and chaotic form of worship called "quake worship" in the name of the Holy Spirit. However, this does not reveal the glory of God or the light of the gospel. The Church cannot reflect the glory of God while being chaotic and disorderly in its practices. The chaos and discord in the world are a reflection of humanity's fallen nature, which has led to sin. The Church is meant to restore the glory of God in society through the principle of law and order, including scriptural law, godly morals, and pure cultural values. At the individual level, Christians are called to strive for an organized lifestyle as a principle of life so that they can reflect the glory of God.
