matthew 4: 17 "From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
matthew 4:23 "Jesus went throughout Galilee, TEACHING in their synagogues, PROCLAIMING THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM, and healing every disease and sickness among the people"
john 1:17 "For THE LAW was given THROUGH MOSES; GRACE AND TRUTH came THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.
matthew 5:1 "Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. HIS DISCIPLES CAME TO HIM, and he began to TEACH THEM."
Just to make the point, because false ideas have put the theory that Jesus was teaching the mosaic law, therefore His teachings arent part of the true Gospel. believe the scripture.
exodus 20:13 "you shall not murder" ( the law through moses)
MATTHEW 5: 21-22 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ BUT I TELL YOU (the gospel through Jesus) that anyone who is angry with a brother will be subject to judgment...."
exodus 20:14 " you shall not commit adultery" ( the law through moses)
matthew 5:27-28 "“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ BUT I TELL YOU ( the gospel through Jesus) that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
deuteronomy 24:1 ""When a man takes a wife and marries her, and it happens that she finds no favor in his eyes because he has found some indecency in her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce and puts it in her hand and sends her out from his house, ( the law through moses)
matthew 5: 31-32 “It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. ( the gospel through Jesus Christ)
numbers 30:2 "If a man makes a vow to the LORD, or takes an oath to bind himself with a binding obligation, he shall not violate his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth. ( the law through moses)
matthew 5:33-35 “Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but fulfill to the Lord the vows you have made.’ BUT I TELL YOU, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool;"
deuteronomy 1921 ":Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." ( the law through moses)
matthew 5:38-39 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth. BUT I TELL YOU,( the gospel through Jesus Christ) do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, TURN TO THEM THE OTHER CHEEK also. "
Just a few examples, in order to omit the validity of Jesus ministry, things like the sermon on the mount or the countless parables and plain lessons taught by the Lord above all, there is a theory Jesus taught the mosaic law, therefore His words, teachings commands in the 4 gospels simply dont apply to His church, that was only for those present with Him, it was law, and therefore the gospel is only His death and resurrection. a theory that basically disregards Jesus ministry, and actually makes it a bad thing to be a " red letter believer" meaning you believe that Jesus gospel is the true and correect doctrine, of HIS CHURCH, HIS BODY, HIS BRIDE. clearly looking at just these few examples, no one should be able to hold to the idea that Jesus was teaching the law, simply because he is saying " you heard the law...it said this, BUT I TELL YOU this other thing. Jesus teachings are the foundation opf any correct doctrine and applies eternally to His people.
forgiveness ? matthew 6:14-15 "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." this is WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT FORGIVENESS.....he teaches it also in the parable of the unforgiving debtor (matthew 18:21-35 ) in fact the entire ministry of Jesus rests on this principle, which IS NOT LAW NOR DOES IT RESEMBLE LAW.
luke 6:37- 38 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
the Law teaches that we are judged according to strict written laws, by one another, we are condemned by 2 or three witnesses and stoned by the people of the community, forgiveness is not based on us forgiving others, but on sacrifice rather than Mercy. the law was Gods word given through a mediator Moses, the Gospel is Gods word given through the Only MEDIATOR Jesus, His Son. The law was given by Gods word to moses, then moses word to the people. he was its mediator. the gospel was given by Gods word through Jesus, the eternal mediator between God and man. there is nothing in scripture to even suggest omittals or devalue or de authorizing the gospel ministry opf Jesus Christ, that is outright herecy, whether we call it grace, new dispensations, whatever the reasoning its false, Jesus ministry is eternally valid and the authority over His body, bride, the Church belongs to Jesus.
false doctrines work hard to omit Jesus words, because Jesus words are salvation. Just as Gods word was Life in the garden. Dont be decieved by someone telling you Jesus gospel was him teaching law and therefore doesnt apply, its false. Jesus taught the kingdom of God, just like his apostles including paul. james, peter and john who said this
2 john 1:9 "Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."
Jesus taught the way of Life, dont let " grace" omit the truth.
