the Bible speaks of two different laws: the Law of Sin and Death (written on stone, given by Moses)
and the Law of grace given by the shed blood of Jesus Christ which ushers people into the New covenant and blesses them with the Holy Spirit.
Satan loves to mix lies with truths to confuse those who do not pay enough attention to catch on to what God's Spirit revels in His written word.
Romans 8:2 For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the
law of
sin and death.
Hebrews 8
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For if that first
covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]In that He says, “A new
covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away
2 Corinthians 3
[SUP]7 [/SUP]But if the ministry of death, written
and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which
glory was passing away, [SUP]8 [/SUP]how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? [SUP]9 [/SUP]For if the ministry of condemnation
had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.
****************
the Old Covenant has been replaced. The law of Moses have been replaced by a better promise.
God requires MORE from His people.
You do not tithe 10 percent. you give 100 % of your life.
you do not worship just one day a week. You worship God every day. you meet with your brothers and sisters in Christ whenever you can and the world will hate you for it.
you do not murder, not because of the commandment do not murder, but because you follow the deeper commandment of forgiveness and NOT holding grudges and NOT being angry with your brother for no reason and NOT allowing the sun to set on your anger and NOT coming before the throne of God with any transgressions/ unforgiven act against another without first trying to recoil with them.
The new covenant is deeper and more meaningful because its not just external words written on stone but internal truths found in a heart shaped and molded by God's Holy Spirit.
