Following God is like being led by a holy God into goodness. The law tells us how-to live in mansions with the Lord forever, and how to be great in those mansions. It tells us how to have a happy marriage and how to have joy and contentment in life. It even instructs on how to do well on our job. It guides every part of our life.
That guidance is perfect, it can be absolutely depended on. We are even given a spirit within to help us learn and do these things.
Moses words or Jesus words ? the example of marriage
Moses words
“When a man hath
taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then
let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
And when she is departed out of his house,
she may go and be another man's wife.”
Deuteronomy 24:1-2 KJV
Jesus questioned about this
“And he answered and said unto them,
What did Moses command you? And they said,
Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
And
Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. And
he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.”
Mark 10:3-12
so what’s the law pertaining to marriage and divorce ?
“The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness' sake;
he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?”
Isaiah 42:21, 23 KJV
Moses word or Jesus word ?
Moses word of equal revenge
“Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”
Exodus 21:24-25
Jesus word of life
“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
Matthew 5:38-39
of Christ Jesus word it is written well
After Moses spoke
“
Hearken unto me, my people; and
give ear unto me, O my nation:
for a law shall proceed from me, and
I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
My righteousness is near;
my salvation is gone forth, and
mine arms shall judge the people;
the isles shall wait upon
me, and on
mine arm shall they trust.”
Isaiah 51:4-5 KJV
And as Moses himself witnessed of the latter word to come
“But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
For
Moses truly said ( Deuteronomy 18:15-19) unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
Yea, and
all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as
have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.”
Acts 3:18-19, 22-24
the gospel right ?
