1 | Is the Christian under Law? | Ex 1:1 | Risen | 12888 | ||
Dear Bill Mc, Absolute truth brother! We are under His new covenant. We receive His righteousness by faith! In Him,(Christ), we have been made holy, righteous, blameless and perfect. In Him we have eternal life, we are complete in Him. We are no longer under the law. When the Bible says that we aren't under the law any more, it doesn't mean that we are left without standards. We are actually under a higher standard, called in the Scripture "the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2) and "the law of liberty" (James 1:25 NASB). Under grace, God says to us throught the apostle Paul: You my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command; "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Galatians 5:13,14). This is our standard, and it is indeed a higher standard than outward conformity to rules. Romans 13:10 sums it up: "Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.: It was Christ who said in Matthew 5:17... "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them" (Matthew 5:17). And He did fulfill the law; not by what He...did not do, but by what He... did do - He lived a life of perfect love. He laid His life down for us while we were His enemies, while we were still dead in our sins. The Lord Jesus Christ said, "All men will know you that are My disciples if you love one another...(John 13:35) Love fullfills all the law. Let us love, accept, and forgive one another. Just as Christ loves, accepts, and has forgiven us...totally and completely! Let us remember, as this world grows darker and darker, we who are indwelt by the living resurrected God and Savior Jesus Christ, will shine brighter and brighter. Now we see in part, but when He returns, we shall be like Him! Your Brother In Christ |
