Change in the Church of Christ

We need not worry about changes which are made in the Church of Christ, for this Church has a history of change. Moses, for example, was given a lower law and Christ, years later, repealed that law. If God could have His way, I believe that He would only give one law to mankind, which law is, “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, might, mind and strength”. Because of mankind’s inability to understand this one overarching law, however, God gives us lower laws to help us understand that one law better. Thus, the lower laws may be adjusted to meet the needs and understanding of the people for whom they are written. We are those people, and are members of the Restored Church of Christ, and yet we still do not understand that one important law. Therefore, we should expect change still. There will always be change until we live the law.
