Subject: BradK, Are the other OT Laws in effect? |
Bible Note: Dear John Reformed, I think we would be in basic agreement per your response. I was coming from the aspect of our righteous standing. I would agree in spirit that our responsibilty is not one to ignore, but that we are now free to obey (Gal.5:13). One of the challenges I see is how are we to "obey" the law in its' moral precepts when no one, save Christ was able to?(Rom.10:4) Is the point or purpose of our walk to keep or fulfill the 10 Commandments? I understand the directive of Paul in Gal.5:14..."that the whole law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." What of "walking by faith", "walking in the Spirit", or "pursuing love"? Certainly our standing before God is predicated by our being "In Him" but what is it that guides our practical walk? What of Titus 2:11-12 "11 For the GRACE of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age". As a fellow seeker of truth, these questions are necessary but not easy to answer. Let me know your thoughts or further comments. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK |
