1 | Was the Law ever abolished or negated? | Bible general Archive 1 | meusing | 43492 | ||
The Law was fulfilled in Jesus as evidenced by those very verses. as Adam Clarke said ... Verse 17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law] Do not imagine that I am come to violate the law katalusai, from kata, and luw, I loose, violate, or dissolve-I am not come to make the law of none effect-to dissolve the connection which subsists between its several parts, or the obligation men are under to have their lives regulated by its moral precepts; nor am I come to dissolve the connecting reference it has to the good things promised. But I am come, plhrwsai, to complete-to perfect its connection and reference, to accomplish every thing shadowed forth in the Mosaic ritual, to fill up its great design; and to give grace to all my followers, plhrwsai, to fill up, or complete, every moral duty. In a word, Christ completed the law: 1st. In itself, it was only the shadow, the typical representation, of good things to come; and he added to it that which was necessary to make it perfect, HIS OWN SACRIFICE, without which it could neither satisfy God, nor sanctify men. 2dly. He completed it in himself by submitting to its types with an exact obedience, and verifying them by his death upon the cross. 3dly. He completes this law, and the sayings of his prophets, in his members, by giving them grace to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and their neighbour as themselves; for this is all the law and the prophets. |

Meusing, (I hope you don't mind me butting in)Adam Clarke is good but you don't need him to explain what "fulfill the law" means, Christ explained it very plainly in the 5th chapter of Matt. Christ brought the SPIRITUAL dimension to the law. The Law says "don't commit adultery" now Christ says "Don't even lust after women" The Law says "Thou shalt not kill" now Christ says "Don't be angry, without a just cause, with your brother. Christ came to COMPLETE the Law (not do away with it), bringing the Spiritual dimension, The Law was incomplete without the Spiritual dimension. As CHRIST SAID, I come NOT TO DO AWAY with the Law, but to fulfill. Christ brought the Law to a new level. Arnie |

Hi Arnie, I quoted Adam Clarke because He has more authority and knowledge on the subject than I do. I know that Jesus fulfilled the law so that I can live in friendship with God without fear or guilt. But when I say this I usually get ... 'and who are you?' ... they are just the meusings of a dislectic fisherman (saved by grace). Adam Clarke, John Gill, and others say what i believe and understand better that I can. |

Meusing, Hold on to that what you have been given by the grace of God, just beware, men can and do lead you astray, it seems all churches and groups have some truth, the problem is so many also have error, thats why the only thing that is perfect, is the TRUTH REVEALED by the Son of God. | ||||||
