Bible Question:
OK, then it is fair to say that the moral aspects of the Law still reflect the will of God on such matters. So then is there a good NT reference that expresses this idea? |
Bible Answer: 'The Law Is a Guide for Christian Living. 'The believer, through the Spirit, keeps the righteous requirements of the law (Rom 8:3-4), following the principle of love which is the fulfillment of the law (Rom 13:8-10; Gal 5:14; Mark 12:31, ; cf. Lev 19:18). As the New Testament use of Old Testament laws shows, the moral aspect of the law continues to define proper and improper behavior for Christians. Old Testament laws supplement New Testament morality by addressing some issues not directly treated in the New Testament. God's commandments were intended to bring life (Rom 7:10), and the promises of life associated with the law remain applicable (Eph 6:2-3; cf. Exod 20:12).' ____________________ Source: bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/ BakersEvangelicalDictionary/ Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology. Edited by Walter A.
