{ "id": "basics-def-royal-code", "question": "What is the Royal Code?", "answer": "The Royal Code is a code of conduct that sets a divine standard for members of the Royal Family of God. Believers will never be able to attain this standard unless they choose to put grace to work every day of their lives.\n\nThis code consists of five laws. The Law of Life sets the believer free from the law of sin and death (Rom. 8:1–2). The Law of Liberty gives believers the right and responsibility to choose how to live, provided the Bible does not forbid the action (Gal. 5:1). The Law of Love is higher than liberty, recognizing that believers should bear the weaknesses of those without strength and refrain from allowable things that cause others to stumble (Rom. 15:1).\n\nAdditionally, the Law of Self-denial involves restricting oneself for the sake of unbelievers to be an effective witness (1 Cor. 10:23–24, 33). Finally, the Law of Supreme Sacrifice is lived by heroes who become selfless, considering the plan of God and others as more important than themselves, following the example of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 8:9; Phil. 2:3–8).", "url": "/faq/what-is-the-royal-code/", "unit": null, "lesson": null, "lesson_title": null, "question_type": null, "tier": 2, "faq_class": "definition", "aeo_questions": [ "What is the code of conduct that members of the Royal Family of God must follow?", "What are the five laws that believers must live by in order to set a divine standard?", "What are the characteristics of a hero of the faith who lives by the Royal Code?" ], "topic_anchor": "Royal Code", "derivation": "generated", "source_authority": "authoritative", "author": "Gene Cunningham", "book": "The Basics", "source": { "doc_id": "btbm-01-TheBasics-8-10-24", "ref": "The Basics -- Subject Index entry 'Royal Code' (printed pp. 181, 182, 183)", "book_page": [ 181, 183 ], "grounding_pages": [ 181, 182, 183 ] }, "scripture": [ { "display": "John 5:24", "osis": null, "book_pages": [ 193 ] }, { "display": "John 10:10", "osis": null, "book_pages": [ 193 ] }, { "display": "Romans 6:11-13", "osis": null, "book_pages": [ 193 ] }, { "display": "1 Corinthians 15:10", "osis": null, "book_pages": [ 193 ] }, { "display": "Ephesians 1", "osis": null, "book_pages": [ 193 ] }, { "display": "Romans 8:1-2", "osis": null, "book_pages": [ 193 ] } ], "topics": [ "Death", "Liberty", "Plan of God", "Royal Code" ], "topics_context": [ "Grace", "Royal Code", "conformity to Jesus Christ", "Decisions", "Ambassadorship", "Discernment", "Edification", "Freedom", "Gospel", "Hero of faith", "Judging", "Judgment", "Suffering", "Freedom, respecting others’" ], "printed_pages": [ 181, 182, 183 ], "related": { "ranked": [ { "id": "basics-canon-royal-code", "topic_idf_score": 11.893, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Death", "Liberty", "Royal Code" ], "topics": [ "Cross", "Death", "Gospel", "Judging", "Liberty", "Royal Code", "Satan" ], "shared_verse_count": 1, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-u4-l4-1-q10", "topic_idf_score": 11.893, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Death", "Liberty", "Royal Code" ], "topics": [ "Cross", "Death", "Gospel", "Judging", "Liberty", "Royal Code", "Satan" ], "shared_verse_count": 0, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-canon-hero-of-faith", "topic_idf_score": 5.92, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ], "topics": [ "Cross", "Death", "Hero of faith", "Ministry", "Plan of God", "Satan" ], "shared_verse_count": 1, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-def-hero-of-faith", "topic_idf_score": 5.92, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ], "topics": [ "Cross", "Death", "Hero of faith", "Ministry", "Plan of God", "Satan" ], "shared_verse_count": 1, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-canon-plan-of-god", "topic_idf_score": 5.92, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ], "topics": [ "Death", "Dispensations", "Plan of God", "Revelation", "Satan", "Suffering" ], "shared_verse_count": 0, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-canon-the-substitutionary-death-of-christ", "topic_idf_score": 5.92, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ], "topics": [ "Cross", "Death", "Death of Christ", "Doctrine", "Judgment", "Mercy", "Paul", "Peace", "Plan of God", "Salvation", "The Most Important Doctrine" ], "shared_verse_count": 0, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-canon-liberty", "topic_idf_score": 4.454, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Liberty" ], "topics": [ "Cross", "Doctrine", "Faith", "Liberty", "Peace", "Religion", "Satan", "Soul", "Spirituality" ], "shared_verse_count": 1, "same_lesson": false }, { "id": "basics-canon-discernment", "topic_idf_score": 4.454, "why": "topic", "shared_topics": [ "Liberty" ], "topics": [ "Decisions", "Discernment", "Evil", "Freedom", "Judging", "Liberty" ], "shared_verse_count": 0, "same_lesson": false } ], "same_lesson": [], "shares_scripture": [ "basics-canon-liberty", "basics-canon-royal-code", "basics-canon-hero-of-faith", "basics-def-hero-of-faith" ], "shares_topic": [ { "id": "basics-canon-royal-code", "score": 11.893, "topics": [ "Death", "Liberty", "Royal Code" ] }, { "id": "basics-u4-l4-1-q10", "score": 11.893, "topics": [ "Death", "Liberty", "Royal Code" ] }, { "id": "basics-canon-hero-of-faith", "score": 5.92, "topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ] }, { "id": "basics-canon-plan-of-god", "score": 5.92, "topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ] }, { "id": "basics-canon-the-substitutionary-death-of-christ", "score": 5.92, "topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ] }, { "id": "basics-def-hero-of-faith", "score": 5.92, "topics": [ "Death", "Plan of God" ] }, { "id": "basics-canon-discernment", "score": 4.454, "topics": [ "Liberty" ] }, { "id": "basics-canon-liberty", "score": 4.454, "topics": [ "Liberty" ] }, { "id": "basics-u5-l5-1-q12", "score": 4.454, "topics": [ "Liberty" ] }, { "id": "basics-canon-age-of-israel", "score": 3.622, "topics": [ "Plan of God" ] } ], "prev": null, "next": null, "prev_kind": null, "next_kind": null } }
