Even a cursory glance of the case laws of the book of Deuteronomy shines a light that reveals just how good God is, how patient He is with sinners such as ourselves, and how incredibly practical the law is in promoting the lives of those under it. Take the cities of refuge, which were safe harbors for those who might flee unrighteous vengeance against those who by accident took another life -manslaughter-. God's law met sinners in their sin and provided for them a blueprint for mitigating the effects of the Fall and even our own violent designs. Let us then reason together how we might be defenders of the innocent, uphold the cause of righteousness and truth, and establish real policy that protect life and not faint in the day of true justice.
