Recall this Scripture, which we presented earlier in this exploration of the Kingdom of God, in the matter of Interaction; it is one that precedes this one.
For he hath put all things under his feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

When we have fixed our minds on using examples from Scripture to make a case for ignoring the weight of errors and sins of our life, as we try to bypass accountability; we must be ready to apply the full weight of the example, instead. One of the weights of the examples of Scripture, as they are associated with errors of humans, is the matter of consequence. If we want to apply the examples of Scripture to our lives, we must be ready to accept the consequences that are associated with those examples. Scripture tells us that this is the normal course of events in the Kingdom of God.
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
(Galatians 6:7-8)
When one soweth to the Spirit, the consequences are indeed blessed ones. For instance, in the community of Israel, the LORD described a series of blessings that were waiting for the people of that nation when they adhered to the requirements of righteousness.

As far back as the time of Moses; according to His word, the LORD revealed God’s scheduled actions, as pertains to His most charismatic messenger. Among these actions is an interruption of the independent acts of struggling to understand the LORD. For, even though the Israelites, and in time, the entire world, too, had the law of Moses; still, we were struggling to see how it could flow through us, individually. We needed a Living Example, of a human sort. We needed an example that would consume both us, and our struggling for understanding of our place in the Kingdom of God. This is the declaration of the existence of that example, in and for all reality:
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
