Bible Note: Berry, Emmaus is spot on. If I may add a line or 2 From the Complete Jewish Bible, an excellent translation by David Stern, himself a Messianic Jew: “Even so, we have come to realize that a person is not declared righteous by God on the ground of his legalistic observance of Torah commands, but through the Messiah Yeshua’s trusting faithfulness. Therefore, we too have put our trust in Messiah Yeshua and become faithful to him, in order that we might be declared righteous on the ground of the Messiah’s trusting faithfulness and not on the ground of our legalistic observance of Torah commands. For on the ground of legalistic observance of Torah commands, no one will be declared righteous.” Then in v.18: “for it was through letting the Torah speak for itself that I died to its traditional legalist misinterpretations so that I might live in direct relationship with God.” V.21: “I do not reject God’s gracious gift; for if the way in which one attains righteousness is through legalism, then the Messiah’s death was pointless.” The Law has always been about faith and trust, while legalism (those extra, penitential laws imposed on Israel after the apostasy of the Golden Calf) had always been about stumbling (Romans 11.9). Legalism (the ceremonial law) is making God work for us (“…that is, to bring Christ down” Rom 10.6b) Notice in Romans 10:8 how Paul deliberately quotes from Deuteronomy, the Law: "But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART"--that is, the word of faith which we are preaching," The word (Law) is in your mouth: the Word has always been Jesus Christ, the goal of the Law, and the righteousness of a Law that has always required faith and trust. Is it too much to say that to walk as He walked (1 John 2.6) is to walk in the Law? Colin |
