Bible Note: Hello Nic, I think you might have me mixed up with someone else, because I agree with you 100 percent. We must obey the law. There are some here that are writing and telling me we do not. Jesus did come to fulfill the law, but who really understands what this means. It seams like you have a good grasp on that principle. In matthew 5, the sermon on the mount, Jesus magnified the law, and this is what I believe He meant when He said He came to fulfill the law verse 17-18. But when we read juat after that context, starting verse 21 He states "ye have heard. . ." verse 22 He states "But I say unto yo. . ." again in verses 27-28 also 31-32 also 33-34 also 38-39 also 42-43. When the Holy Spirit revealed this to me it was like scales falling from my eyes. I always known that obedience is the fruit of faith, and it is necessary for salvation, but when this proof text hit me in the face I was over joyed. Jesus not only reiterated what was, and has been from the beginning, He made it more, He magnified them to give us a better grasp on what it means to love God with all our heart, and our neighbour as ourselves.
