LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF GODS LAW IN US

LoveGodForever · Sep 26, 2017

Hi Friends,

Do you know the origin of the two great commandments spoken by Jesus in Matthew 22 that all the law and the prophets hang on?

36, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38, This is the first and great commandment. 39, And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40, On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Jesus was quoting from the old testament summing up God's Law....Love to God....

Deuteronomy 6:5-8
5, And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6, And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7, And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shall talk of them when thou sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when thou rises up. 8, And you shall bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as front lets between thine eyes.
Love to neighbor.......

Leviticus 19:2-18
2, Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy. 3, Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God. 4, Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God. 5, And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 6, It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 7, And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted. 8, Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 9, And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. 10, And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. 11, Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 12, And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 13, Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbor, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 14, Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. 15, Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor. 16, Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the LORD. 17, Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and not suffer sin upon him. 18, Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.

I want to share some thoughts on Deuteronomy 6:8 shortly

God bless all.

LoveGodForever you seem to make a great distinction between the ten commandments and the law of Moses? Jews do not have this distinction.

Do you have any Scriptural grounds to prove that when Jesus uses or apostles use the word "commandments" they refer only to the 10 commandments and not the 613 of the Torah in totality?

Hi Bogadile,

It is not me that is making any distinctions between God's Law (10 commandments) and the laws of Moses. The question we need to ask is; Does God's Word make the distinction between God's Law and the laws of Moses?

A few honest questions may help. How many commandments in the 10 commandments given written and made and spoken by God himself? (613 or 10 see Exodus 20:1-17)

Was the making of the 10 commandments the work of God or man? (Exodus 32:16)

Hence the term God's Law because he is the sole writer, maker and owner of these Laws. They are the work of God which his Word says are forever (Exodus 20:1-17; Ecclesiastes 3:14)

In the Old Covenant there was two sets of laws; God's Law (10 commandments) which are forever and the laws of Moses that were temporary and shadows pointing to Jesus.

(1) God’s Law (10 commandments) is the work of God alone written with His own finger on two tables of stone, spoken by God himself to His people and placed alone in the Ark of the Covenant. (Exodus 32:16; 31:18; Exodus 20:1-17; Deuteronomy 10:5) Points out sin because breaking God’s Law is sin (Isaiah 24:4; 1 John 3:4; James 2:11; Romans 3:20; 7:17; Ezekiel 18:20; Romans 6:23) God’s Law pointed out what sin was and the penalty of sin which is death. It was never a cure for sin and made nothing perfect in the Old Testament as well as in the New. It only gives a knowledge of what sin is and righteousness (right doing) (Romans 3:20; 1 John 3:4; Romans 6:23; Ps 119:172).

(2) The laws of Moses was the second set of laws and included all the civil, ceremonial, and ecclesiastical laws which were written by Moses in a book. These laws did not tell us what sin was this was the job of God’s Law, however the laws of Moses were the prescriptive cure for sin in the Old Covenant. These laws included all the Levitical and ceremonial laws, sacrificial burnt offerings for sin, annual festivals and earthly sanctuary services for sin. These laws were the cure for sin so the sinner could be made right with God through faith. These where all prophetic in nature, teaching the plan of salvation which pointing to Jesus as the true lamb of God and our great high priest and His Work on our behalf in the Heavenly Sanctuary. Much of the ceremonial laws were Shadows of things to come pointing to Jesus the lamb of God and the sinners true sacrifice (Leviticus 1; 3-12; 14-17; 22-23; Number 6-8; 15; 28-29; Deut 12; 33; Ex 25:8; John 1:29; 36; Rev 5:6; 1Cor 5:6-7; Heb 8:2-13; 9:1-28; Col 2:14-17)

From the above it can be seen that God’s Law was written on stone and the laws of Moses in a book. God’s Law is forever and only points out what sin is but was never a cure for sin (Rom 3:20; 1 John 3:4; Rom 6:23).

Now the next question would be if these laws were all the same why didn’t Moses just write all the laws? Why did God go to all the trouble to make the 10 commandments himself and speak them personally to his people?

The answer has already been provided with the scriptures above and that is "I know that, whatsoever God does, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him" (Ecclesiastes 3:14). It was God that made the 10 commandments and the scripture says it is forever. It is God's Law because he is the maker and sole owner of them. It is also the spoken Word of God by God himself Jesus says: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away (Matthew 24:35). The reason God made the 10 commandments is that they are forever and the very standard of the Old Covenant, the New Covenant and the judgement to come.

So if God's Law (10 commandments) are forever what was nailed to the cross? These were the temporary laws of Moses that pointed to Jesus Colossians 2:14-17. There is too many scriptures showing God's Law (10 commandments) is the standard of the Old Covenant, the New Covenant and the Judgement to come. If you would like some of these scriptures please feel free to ask. Hope this helps.

What is sin?

1 John 3:4
Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

James 2:11
For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.

Romans 3:20
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Romans 7:7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Sin is breaking God's Law (10 commandments)....

So now that is it clear that sin is the transgression of God's Law lets move on to the next question.

Is someone saved who is practicing unrepentant sin?

Hebrew 10:27-28
26, For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Hebrews 6:4-8
4, For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7, For the earth which drinks in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and brings forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8, But that which bears thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

1 John 3:3-10
3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.4, Whosoever commits sin transgress also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6, Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins hath not seen him, neither known him. 7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8, He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.

Ezekiel 18:20-26,
20, The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21, But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22, All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23, Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24, But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25, Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 26, When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and dies in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
9, Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revellers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Galatians 5:19-21
19, Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21, Envying’s, murders, drunkenness, revelling’s, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

2 Peter 4:6
4, For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5, And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6, And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that after should live ungodly;

19, While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 20, For if after they have escaped the pollution's of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21, For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22, But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Romans 6:18-23
18, Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19, I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20, For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21, What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. 22, But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 8:13,
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Romans 2:12
For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law.

James 2:8-12,
8, If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well: 9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.10, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11, For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

Jeremiah 31:30
But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge

2 Corinthians 7:1
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Ephesians 4:21-24
21, If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22, That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23, And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24, And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

1 Thessalonians 4:7
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord

1 Peter 1:15-16
But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
How do we know who are God's people?

1 John 2:3-4
3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4, He that saith, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 3:3-10
3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure. 4, Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6, Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins hath not seen him, neither known him. 7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8, He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed <1 Peter 1:23> remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.

The 7th Day Sabbath is one of the 10 from God's Law (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it we commit sin which is the transgression of God's Law. In times of ignorance God winks at but now calls all men everywhere to repent because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.(Acts 17:30-31)

There is so many scriptures in the New Testament alone that would fill up many pages so I am only posting a few here that may help. If you or anyone else would like the many pages of scripture version showing what Jesus and the Apostles taught just PM me and I will send them to you. This one is already too long.

In Christ Always!

Thanks for your answer.

I will pray and study this topic. Seems like an interesting study.

I hear some talk more of our nature and our weakness and what is impossible for us.

Let us rather talk of his nature and his strength and what is possible for Him.

Jesus gave us the Spirit and thus we become partakers of the divine nature. Think on that for a second, Divine nature, Christ in you.

Those who think we will continue in sin/breaking the law simply lack faith in Jesus.

My God is merciful, loving and powerful beyond imagination.

Many deny the Sabbath and bare the fruit of such denial. The Sabbath which is a memorial of creation speaks of the God who speaks and it is. But here I see people speak of our weakness and thus mute Gods power when he says be holy.

Many say they believe God created by his own word and power. But Their lives and words deny Gods power when it comes to salvation from sin and the Devil.

There are three types of people in the word today:

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1Co 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The natural man is those who do not accept God at all.

The spiritual is those who have the Holy Spirit and the mind of Christ.

But most of what I hear here is neither of those two. Because there is another class of believer other than the Spiritual.

1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

The carnal man is the believer who is without victory over sin. These are the lukewarm Christians in Laodicea. or the foolish virgins in the parable of the 10 virgins. Or the people of Romans 7.

These Carnal are those who John speaks of in 1 John 1 who do not yet have fellowship with Jesus but do believe.

Guys its time to believe and move out of the carnal life into the Spiritual. This is not an attack this is an invitation from Jesus.

For he says:

Rev 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

The Carnal Christian has left Jesus outside and only Jesus can give complete victory over sin. Jesus comes in to us via the Spirit:

Rom 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

If you do not bare the fruit of the Spirit then you have not the fullness of the Spirit and are carnal. Luke 11 teaches how to have this gift and grow in it. Its not a once of thing its a daily need.

Once our lives are free of sin and full of Christ then it is true that we are Christians.

Isaiah 55:6-7
6, Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7, Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Hi gotime,

So nice to see you. I like this part of your post the best. Rephrasing it a little saying the same thing there is much truth to ponder "Once our lives are full of Christ as we by faith continue in his Word our lives will be free from sin, then it is true, we are Christian"

God bless

being 'set free' from and learning how to 'over-come', is a 'life-long-process' for many of US, -
really, it's our Spiritual Journey, from beginning to end, - odd, and precious at the same time...
that our Father allows us to share such intimate details, is a wonder, a real stairway to 'heaven'...

The power to be free from the sins we know can only found in him who loves and know all. Growing in grace and love is for obedience to the faith. Today we may be free from sin through faith in him who loves us as we dwell in him and he in us. Without him we can do nothing because we are dependent on him to live. To be free from sin is to live by being transformed by the renewing of our minds as we seek him by faith because we cannot see. Only when we hear his voice (God's Word) we will not harden our hearts, but only he that shall endure unto the end (abiding in him), the same is saved from their sins and the penalty thereof. The mirror shows the way for the blind to see. Those that say they see cannot find the way because they have not looked into the mirror. If you look into the mirror you will find him who loves all and he will open the blind eyes to see, the deaf to hear and the lame to walk.

Growing...

2 Peter 1:2-9
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins

God bless OTN

Wonderful Rosemaryx! .... he says with an everlasting love have I loved you and with loving kindness have I drawn you. What a wonderful God who loves us so much that he gives his life for all who listen. He opens the blind eyes to see, the deaf to hear and the lame to walk. We can only seek him and find him when we search for him with all of our heart. Only God knows how to fix a broken heart.

God bless you...

LOVE IS THE FULFILLING OF GODS LAW IN US
