Bible Question:
In the Andes, what are the Laws of the New Covenant? While the Law brought death and Christ brought life, the Law has not been abolished (Matt 5:17). Searcher |
Bible Answer: The law has not been abolished but fulfilled and set aside. Heb 7:11, 12, see vs 18,19 Heb 7:28-8:1, 6 Now read Heb 8:7-12 And to conclude vs 13 says... "In that He says, "a new covenant" He has MADE THE FIRST OBSOLETE."The rest of the vs is talking about the jews. The law of the New Covenant is John 13:34-35, Rom 13:8-10, and ch 14 is an example of living that law. We do this by following the Spirit and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. The outworking of our Righteousness will include those things contained in the law. Walking in love, we will never commit adultery, etc. etc. But this is the point, The 10 Commandents made NO ONE PERFECT. Speaking of the Law and Commandments, Paul says in Col. 2:14-23 and Eph 2:14-16 That the law was the enmity that was against us. And Jesus put to death the enmity by taking it to the cross and nailing it there. I always thought he was talking about my sins, but that's not what it says. Jesus wiped out the handwriting of requirements-that was the law. So no one should pass judgement upon another believer about the sabbaths, that includes the weekly sabbaths, as well as the 3 year sabbath 50 yr etc. Paul says that keeping the law has an APPEARANCE OF WISDOM, but it is really, FALSE HUMILITY, and it has NO VALUE AGAINST THE INDULGENCE OF THE FLESH. The law cannot get sin out of our life. |
