Subject: BradK, Are the other OT Laws in effect? |
Bible Note: Hi Searcher56, I'll answer the question the best I can based upon my knowledge of scripture:-) Romans 6:14 seems clear based upon the following; 1.Christ came and fulfilled the law. (Matt.5:17) 2. We are now the "Righteousness of God In Him" 2 Cor. 5:21. Also, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Rom. 10:4 3. Understanding what we (as Gentiles) now have as Eph. 2:12-15 states,"12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace" 4.Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law as Galatians 3:13-14 states. 5.The whole purpose of the "law" was to show us our sinfulness and lead us to Christ. (Rom 7:7, Gal. 3:19-24). 6. We are released form the "law" as indicated in Rom. 7:4-6 7. The law is fulfilled in us , "who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit ( Rom.8:3-4,9) We cannot keep the Law, it is only fulfilled by our being "in Christ". I am not under the law nor is it in effect with regards to my RIGHTEOUS standing with God. I hope this answers your question. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |
