1 | What law(s) did Christ fulfill? | Rom 7:4 | B-Fabb | 14353 | ||
I understand that the Moral Law (the Ten Commandments) and the Mosaic Law are seperate. Deut 4:13,14 My question is what parts of the Mosaic Law are we still to observe? i.e Christ through His sacrifice 'blotted out the handwriting of ordinaces that was against us' Col. 2:14 This obviously refers to the Mosiac Law and not the Ten commandments. (Those ordinaces that was AGAINST us.) Christ also 'abolished the law of commandments contained in ordinaces' Eph 2:15 also referring to the ordinaces of the Mosiac law. Through this sacrifice we no longer need to kill animals in an attempt to obtain righteousness, all we need do is believe in the grace of God through faith. So, besides the Sacrifial components of the Mosiac law what else was abolished/blotted out/fulfilled? |

2 | What law(s) did Christ fulfill? | Rom 7:4 | stpopoola | 14380 | ||
Hi B-Fabb, When Christ died for us, He fulfilled all the Laws both Mosaic and Moral. The reason is that man had failed woefully in obeying these laws to the letter. Having received Jesus into our lives, we recieve the grace to obey these laws which Jesus summarised into the great commandment, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." Duet 6:5,Matt 22:37. All the moral laws are embedded in this commandment and because the one who gave this command lives inside us, we are compelled to walk in obedience to this command. No wonder John says "Everyone who sins breaks God’s law, because sin is the same as breaking God’s law. You know that Christ came to take away sins. He isn’t sinful,and people who stay one in their hearts with him won’t keep on sinning. If they do keep on sinning, they don’t know Christ, and they have never seen him." 1 John 3:4-6. I guess this summarises it all. apart from this, I think Jesus also blotted out the curse that had been upon man since man sineed against God. That is why the Bible says Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the Law. Thank you. |

3 | In what way did Christ fulfill the Law? | Rom 7:4 | B-Fabb | 24645 | ||
I understand that Christ fulfilled the whole law. I guess my next question is in what way did He fulfill this law. In the dictionary fulfill means to: -To bring into actuality -To carry out (an order, for example). -To measure up to; satisfy -To bring to an end; complete Today, we seem to assume Christ destroyed(blotted out) some parts of the law(i.e. feasts, sabbath days) but we still observe other parts. I'd like some biblical understanding as to in what way Chirst fulfilled the law. For example, did He totally blot out the observance of things like feast days or did He, through His death complete or in some way satisfy the law, so that we should be observing these feasts in a different way. (for example, no longer carrying out a sacrifice by killing an animal, but still observing the feast days for the other reasons God prescribed, like remembering all that He had done in the past |

4 | In what way did Christ fulfill the Law? | Rom 7:4 | Jude | 24649 | ||
Christ did fulfill the law of blood sacrifice. However, God said concerning the feasts, "These things shall be from generation to generation." And, as for the Sabbath worship (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset), "This shall be a sign that between you and me, that you are my people". (Or words to that affect.) You make a good point about observing only parts of the OT. One that can't be denied is that in the NT to my knowledge Christ didn't tell us to tithe, but you won't find many preachers that are willing to give up the collection plate. Tithing is from the OT. If we are going to observe tithing, we should be observing the feasts and we should be worshiping on the Sabbath. Sunday worship was created by man. History proves this point. The OT and the NT says, "The whold world will be deceived". This is true in my opinion. I have just started with a church that still worships on Saturday and observes the feasts. For me it is the way. Jesus said, "I came not to change one jot or tittle of the law". That's pretty strong and clear speech! He did become the sacrifice one and for all however. I hope this helps you some. Jude |
