1 | In the Andes, name the Laws of the New | Ex 20:10 | MrsBinGA | 53642 | ||
In the Andes - I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts on this subject. They are totally scriptural! It's so sad to hear Christians trying to bring OT truths into this dispensation of Grace and thereby putting themselves back under the Law. That is "works of the law", which, as you know, Galatians 2:16 says "by the works of the law shall no man be justified." You may have given the following references in one of your posts. If so, forgive me for not remembering, and thus repeating them. Gal 5:14: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." I, for one, would almost rather keep the 613 laws of the O.T. than try to "love my neighbor". That ONE law ain't easy! **smile** I love what Gal 3:22-25 says about the Law: "But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law". What could be more clear about the purpose of the law? It was given to LEAD US to Christ! Also, Rom 10:4: "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." And, Gal 5:4: "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace". (Hmmmm . . . how many sermons have I have heard using that phrase "fallen from grace" to "prove" a born-again believer can "lose their salvation." Verses taken out of context are a pretext! **smile**) I'm thankful I am in Christ and that ".. by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses" (Acts 13:39). Everything the law required of me has been fulfilled BY Him; therefore I AM complete because I am IN Him (Col. 2:10). Resting in what Jesus did FOR me, MrsB in Georgia |

2 | Why the Old Testament? | Ex 20:10 | faith531 | 53666 | ||
Mrs.B Does that make the Old Testament void. Why should we use the Old Testament. Jesus says he did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill. Which concludes that the laws of the Old Testament were not destroyed. |

3 | Why the Old Testament? | Ex 20:10 | Jeshuafreak | 53704 | ||
Galatians 3 23But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. |
