Bible Note: The Law in the NT "...the law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability." The Law under the New Covenant. (Note: The following is a selection from the article "The Law". It is recommended that you go to the website included here and read the entire article.) The New Testament's statements about Old Testament law are difficult to harmonize. On the one hand, some New Testament statements indicate that under the new covenant the whole law is in some sense abrogated (Rom 6:14, "you are not under law" Rom 10:4, "Christ is the end of the law" ). (...) On the other hand, the law cannot be altogether invalid since the New Testament affirms its abiding applicability. . "All Scripture is … useful" (2 Tim 3:16-17), including Old Testament laws. . Jesus came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17-20). . The law is the embodiment of truth that instructs (Rom 2:18-19). . It is "holy" and "spiritual, " making sin known to us by defining it; therefore, Paul delights in it (Rom 7:7-14,22). . The law is good if used properly (1 Tim 1:8), and is not opposed to the promises of God (Gal 3:21). . Faith does not make the law void, but the Christian establishes the law (Rom 3:31), fulfilling its requirements by walking according to the Spirit (Rom 8:4) through love (Rom 13:10). . When Paul states that women are to be in submission "as the Law says" (1 Cor 14:34) or quotes parts of the Decalogue (Rom 13:9), . and when James quotes the law of love (2:8 from Lev 19:18) or condemns partiality, adultery, murder, and slander as contrary to the law (2:9, 11; 4:11), . and when Peter quotes Leviticus, "Be holy, because I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16; from Lev 19:2), the implication is that the law, or at least part of it, remains authoritative. ------------- Baker's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology.
