Bible Question: If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15. What commandments are those? |
Bible Answer: Faith531, Sorry, my friend, you can't keep any of them. Not the Big 10, not the New 2. You can't do it. Only Christ ever did. He has fulfilled the righteous requirements of the Law (be perfect) and, because of our union with Him, they are thereby fulfilled in us also. Christ has met the standard. We never did and never can. He now fulfills the law of love in and through us. This is the law of Christ whereby He lives His life in His own to manifest the invisible God to a visible world. As He does this in us, it will certainly look like we are living under the Law (the Mosaic Covenant). But we are not. We are living by faith in Christ in us, the hope of glory. I hope this helps.
