God, Jesus, came to Israel and wrote the law with his own finger in stone....
God didn't trust anyone to write it.
The law of God is love.
But to help us love God, and our neighbors, He gave 10 commandments.
Jesus did not change them or remove them. He showed us how to keep them and if we Love God we will keep them too.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Joh 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1Jn 5:2 KJV By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
“Jesus did not change them or remove them.”
“For the
priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
….For
there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.”
Hebrews 7:12, 18-19 KJV
who do you tell “ don’t kill “ ? Who do you tell “ don’t lie “ ? Who do you tell “ dontt steal ?”
you tell killers not to kill , liars not to lie and thieves don’t steal “ You tell rebellious people what not to do or else
The difference In the law is for condemned sinners
“knowing this, that
the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.”
1 Timothy 1:9-11 KJV
when God gave the Ten Commandments he gave it to people who were corrupt t heart and driven to commit sin constantly so he says “ don’t sin this is sin don’t do it or you will die “
don’t lie don’t steal don’t kill these are commandments you give inside a prison full of criminals the law was given for this purpose to show sinners thier sin it cannot by design save a soul or justify flesh it’s meant to define and the. Impute sin
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
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 3:19-20 KJV
This cannot help a single person it can only make them guilty before God and bring them to acknolwedge thier sins
the law was never made to do what the gospel does the gospel is the opposite rather than given To impute and make us aware of our sins like the law , the gospel is about repentance and remission of sins and it began not in e desert but in Jerusalem
“and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that
repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things.”
Luke 24:46-48
the law is about making sinners guilty and aware of sin the gospel is thy answer for that place we end up in forgiving our sins calling us to repentance and teaching us righteousness
but you aren’t alone israel couldn’t see the end of it’s law either
“and not as
Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: but their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But
even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.”
2 Corinthians 3:13-15
you can’t see God by looking at Moses law you have to look at Jesus and his word because Moses was speaking to sinners without repentance and no hilt spirit no new birth no atonement
“They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.”
Matthew 19:7-9 KJV
the law of Moses is not Christian law it’s what led the world to the need for Jesus and the gospel once you come to Jesus the purpose of Moses law has been fulfilled
“Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for
if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But
the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But
before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.”
Galatians 3:21-
Coming to Christ and believing the gospel removes a person from under the framework of Moses law of sin and death
