Jesus Came To Fulfill Not To Destroy

[justbyfaith]

Get rid of the second to last sentence and your spot on - stop trying to bring the works of the law in the back door.

Proverbs 28:9 now speaks of us turning our ears away from Christ.

You have effectively changed that scripture to fit your own theology.

Pro 28:9, He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

 

[justbyfaith]

The law effectively drives us to the Cross; and without it, we will rest on our laurels thinking "I am a sinner saved by grace" and the Holy Spirit will be rendered lame in His efforts to bring sanctification to our lives.

For the Holy Spirit utilizes the law to sanctify us.

He pinpoints our sins utilizing the law (Romans 3:20) so that we can confess them and be sanctified (1 John 1:9) as the result of walking in the light (1 John 1:7).

Not at all for what does the Law say???

And the Lord said to me: ‘What they have spoken is good. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him. But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.’

The LORD is the Prophet that we are to give our ear to from this Day forward unto Eternity.

Let it go where the law belongs - in death, as it was the instrument of death.

The law, under the New Covenant, is written on the hearts and minds of every believer (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5; 1 John 2:3-6, 1 Corinthians 9:21).

Jesus said that if we obey and teach the least of the commandments in the law of the Old Testament, we will be identified as great in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-20).

The law, under the New Covenant, is written on the hearts and minds of every believer (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5; 1 John 2:3-6, 1 Corinthians 9:21).

Jesus said that if we obey and teach the least of the commandments in the law of the Old Testament, we will be identified as great in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-20).

Obey what is written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit - clue - it is not the Law of OT, but the fulfillment of the Law which is Christ.

 

[justbyfaith]

Obey what is written on our hearts by the Holy Spirit - clue - it is not the Law of OT, but the fulfillment of the Law which is Christ.

Sure it is...

For Hebrews 8:8-10 and Hebrews 10:16 are quoted from the Old Testament (Jeremiah 31:33); when the only law that existed at the time of that writing was the law of Moses.

Therefore, it was the author's intent that Jeremiah 31:33 is speaking of the law of Moses...and therefore the verses in the New Testament that quote from Jeremiah 31:33 are also speaking of the law of Moses.

However, the venue by which that law is kept is changed in the New Testament (Hebrews 7:12).

We no longer seek to obtain righteousness through attempting to obey a set of do's and don'ts...

Rather, we receive the Holy Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14) and when we walk according to that Spirit, the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4, Galatians 5:22-23).

This is the righteousness which is of God by faith (Philippians 3:9).

It is a righteousness apart from the law that is nevertheless attested to by the law and the prophets (Romans 3:21) that it is righteousness indeed.

 

[Phoneman-777]

Is it your contention that a man can be fully obedient to the letter of the law?

I think that Galatians 6:13 might tell you different; and also, Galatians 3:22.

Gal 6 refers to legalistic Jews, while Gal 3 refers to those condemned by sin (everyone) before belief in the promises of Christ takes hold -- both classes of which were in a state of seperation from Christ.

You're essentially pointing to those who wind up in the ditches of License or Legalism after stumbling around in the dark as evidence for why those who have the light of Christ can't stay safely on the Path of the Just.

I think Philipians 2:13 KJV settles the debate: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" and it's time we stop denying Scripture and accept that "all things" includes being fully obedient to God's law.

I can see your point.

However, I believe that you are saying this without knowing the fulness of what is preached in the law of God.

Christians will have to go around like the orthodox Jews if what you are saying is true...wearing blue tassels on their garments and phylacteries on their foreheads and hands. They would be obligated to keep every Jewish festival and would be prohibited from eating pork and shellfish.

The Bible is clear on this matter that every creature of God is good and nothing to be refused; for it is sanctified by the word of the Lord and prayer. And that it is those who are deceived with doctrine of devils who command believers to abstain from meats; which have been created to be eaten with thanksgiving (1 Timothy 4:1-6).

The reality is that we can obey the food laws if we wish; and we may even be counted as greater in the kingdom if we do. However, obeying the food laws (and the rest of the letter of the law) is not necessary for salvation. Those who disobey the least of the commandments in the OT are still counted as being in the kingdom of heaven; though they may be counted as least (Matthew 5:17-20). So, obeying the law, while it may indeed be possible to obey all of it, I think that one in this day would be going overboard to obey all of it (as they would have to wear blue tassels on their garments and phylacteries on their foreheads and hands; and would not be able to shave their beards; especially those pesky sideburns which would end up being curly extensions of the head). It would be to the point that you would be considered to be somewhat out of your mind if you did these things apart from having the religion of an orthodox Jew.

Paul the apostle made it clear that we do not have to become as the Jewish people in order to obtain salvation. In the epistle of Paul to the Galatians, he made sure that Christianity was preserved as a religion all its own and would not become just another sect of Judaism.

In Galatians 2:16, he made certain that we understood that a man is not justified through the deeds of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.

It is Galatians 5:16-24 that remains as the law that Christians are to obey (see also Hebrews 7:12).

It is not the letter of the Old Testament law that matters but the spirit of what was written (Romans 7:6).

If we walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit, the righteousness of the law will be fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4).

 

[Grandpa]

And of course I have brought the above scripture to bear on the interpretation of Galatians 3:10...

For the one who is seeking to be justified by the law, his works, or by personal merits, he is required to keep the whole law perfectly from conception to eternity. For if he breaks even one aspect of the law, he is guilty of breaking all of it (James 2:10).

However, the person who knows that he knows that he knows that he is justified through faith in the blood of Christ, he will be blessed in his deed if he looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it (James 1:25).

Yes; the perfect law of liberty is every moral tenet given in the Old and New Testaments.

Being justified wholly through faith in the blood of Christ, there is no condemnation for seeking to be justified by the law...because he is not seeking justification in keeping the law. That is not his motivation for keeping it.

It is so that he can have a clean and good conscience...and it is to that he might be blessed in what he does (James 1:25). Therefore, law-keeping, for the one who is justified through faith in the blood of Christ, is not his righteousness but his wisdom.

If a Pharisee knew that he was Justified through faith in the blood of Christ he would no longer be a Pharisee.

That Pharisee wouldn't attempt to use refuted circular logic to JUSTIFY his work ("obedience") at the law.


Nowhere in Galatians 3:10 does it mention the idea that if you know you are justified in Christ it is ok to go back to working at the law. YOU have made that up to JUSTIFY your work at the law.

Same thing that you try to do with the Perfect Law of Liberty.

But the Perfect Law of Liberty is not the 10 commandments. It is something that sets us free from that law of sin and death.


Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free (The Perfect Law of Liberty of James 1:25), and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (The 10 commandments).

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (The Perfect Law of Liberty) hath made me free from the law of sin and death (The 10 commandments).

Galatians 2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law (The 10 commandments), that I might live unto God (The Giver of the Perfect Law of Liberty).


Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden (from working at the law of sin and death, the 10 commandments), and I will give you rest (The Perfect Law of Liberty).


Do you see what would happen when you replace Perfect Law of Liberty with the 10 commandments? You have Paul saying don't be entangled by the 10 commandments because the 10 commandments have made us free. You also have Paul saying the 10 commandments have set us free from the 10 commandments. To take the cake you have the Lord Jesus saying those who work at the 10 commandments He will give them rest by placing them under the 10 commandments.

It's really dumb. You should be able to see this.

 

[Grandpa]

Now, it should be clear that we are exhorted not to sin in 1 Corinthians 15:34 and in Ephesians 4:26.

And that sin is the transgression of the law (1 John 3:4).

We are told to repent in order that we might be saved.

That means to turn away from sin.

The law, that shows us what sin is, truly has no power to set a man free from his sins.

In fact, we find victory over sins when we are set free from the law's condemnation.

It remains that the law defines for us what is sin and we know whether or not we have sinned in any instance because the law shows us that we have sinned; in that it identifies sin by defining it for us. If not for the law we would not know what it is that we are supposed to repent of.

When we have truly repented, it will be evidenced by the fact that when we come in contact with the law, the law will not any longer show us that we are sinners. When we measure our lives by the plumb line that is the law, there will be no law that condemns us because we will find that in receiving the love of God and in walking according to it, we are not any longer violating any of the moral tenets that used to condemn us as sinners.

We are redeemed when we receive the love of the Lord into our hearts.

Since the law identifies the specifics of God's love for those who have it, I would say that if we violate love we violate the law; and vice versa.

That would be an indication that we have not yet been redeemed; because it would show that the love of the Lord has not yet been shed abroad in our heart.

Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.


Uh-oh. All that junk you just posted is false. According to scripture.

If you look back to the law to try and be obedient to it you are cursed. You place yourself under the law of sin and death. Just like Paul says in Galatians 3:10

There is NO WAY AROUND IT. The Ministry of Condemnation and Death is not your friend. You need to be delivered from that death. And then you need to do what Paul says and not be entangled AGAIN with the yoke of bondage. Otherwise, Christ will become of no effect to you who try to be Justified by the Law, you will have fallen from Grace.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

When you look back at the Law you see yourself as having the Power, Strength and Wisdom of God? That's what it takes.

[DavidTree]

The law, under the New Covenant, is written on the hearts and minds of every believer (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5; 1 John 2:3-6, 1 Corinthians 9:21).

Jesus said that if we obey and teach the least of the commandments in the law of the Old Testament, we will be identified as great in the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-20).

And you missed the whole point, message and emphasis of the LORD: "For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

Let it go - you will convince no one, but deceive everyone who listens to you.

Please read ALL Scripture on this subject of the Law - Gospel of John, Acts, Romans, Galatians and Revelation

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11But that no one is [d]justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

 

[Pilgrimshope]

I would say to this that the fact that we live unto righteousness has to do with the fact that we have repented of sinning; and that sinning is to transgress the law;

Regardless of the penalties that are required by the law for sins committed, I believe that the law that is written on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers is basically personal to the believer apart from penalties. Because the believer in Christ, has the love of the Lord shed abroad in his heart; and therefore is obedient to the spirit of the law and therefore will not exact any penalties.

The penalties also are null and void because the believer is not under the law (Romans 6:14), is dead to the law (Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19) and is delivered from the law (Romans 7:6) as concerning condemnation.

All that is left of the law of the Lord in the believer's life, therefore, is the moral tenets that he is obedient to because the love of the Lord has been shed abroad in his heart. These laws are written on his heart and mind inasmuch as he has been filled with the love of Jesus Christ and this love is the fulfilling of the law.

It remains that for the sinner, the law of God gives him the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20); it shows him that he is a sinner in need of the Saviour.

For the one who is born of God, he doth not commit sin, for his seed remaineth in hin; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God (1 John 3:9).

Therefore if the law pinpoints of you the fact that you are a sinner, it should be clear to you that you are not born of God.

But of course this is referring to you only if you are consistently walking in the direction of sin. In such a case, the fact that you consistently violate the law of the Lord should indicate to you that you are not born again (I am not saying specifically you, @Pilgrimshope). If you are consistently violating the law of God it is a sign to you that you have not yet been redeemed from all iniquity (Titus 2:14). If you violate it even once it indicates that.

So, I believe that righteousness is imputed to the man who lays hold of the promises of God and does not waver in faith concerning them (Romans 4:20-22).

Such promises that I would mention are:

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 (kjv, Hebrews 10:14 (kjv), 1 John 3:9 (kjv);

1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:3, 1 John 2:6;

1 John 3:6, 1 John 2:17;

Jude 1:24, 2 Peter 1:10, 1 John 2:10.

These are promises concerning being sanctified wholly.

Therefore, if you believe in these promises and are believing in the Lord to accomplish them in your life, you are indeed justified by faith even if He has not yet manifested the results of these promises in your life.

If you believe that He is able to sanctify you wholly and are also asking, seeking, and knocking for Him to do that in you, then He sees the finished product rather than what you look like now in your Christian walk. Because such an attitude will apprehend the reality of these promises being fulfilled in you life in due season; and therefore, if you are trusting Him to do these things in you, you would be taken straight to heaven if you were to die before those promises are brought to fruition in your life. The work will be completed when you see Him if you desire it.

And of course, it is also true that if you have this hope in Him, you purify yourself even as He is pure (1 John 3:2-3).

And if you desire it, it is only a matter of time before you receive it in this life (provided you don't pass into the next life before it can be accomplished); for if you delight yourself in the LORD, He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4).

yeah I sort of just say we have a New Testament and have to follow what Jesus said to do and not do that’s our law as Christians .

Moses law is different but I’ve sort of ran out of words on it lol so the word I believe in and live after is what Jesus Christ said and it’s a lot different from what Moses said i wouldn’t follow Moses though he teaches things that are contrary to what Jesus teaches in the old covenant

I do not "work at keeping the law".

I have received the Holy Spirit by faith (Galatians 3:14) and as the result of that, the love of the Lord is shed abroad in my heart (Romans 5:5); and this love, being not impractical (1 John 3:17-18) is the fulfilling of the law (Romans 13:8-10, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6).

@Grandpa,

You seem to be wanting to justify disobedience.

The Bible tells us that when we are regenerated and renewed in the Holy Ghost, we are no longer disobedient (Titus 3:3-7, esp. v. 3).

The perfect law of liberty is every moral tenet that is given to us in the Old and New Testaments; including the ten commandments.

Two of the ten are included as mentioned as being in the perfect law of liberty in James 2:10-12.

Do you believe that a Christian, in order to be free from the law of sin and death, should:

commit adultery with his neighbor's wife?

kill his neighbor?

steal from his neighbor?

bear false witness against his neighbor?

covet his neighbor's beomngings?

break any other commandment that pertains to his neighbor?

Answer me.

I contend that if we truly love our neighbor as ourselves (see Galatians 3:14, Romans 5:5), that we will not be doing any of those things.

The law is definitely for sinners; it is for those who do not have the love of the Lord shed abroad in their hearts. it shows them that they are sinners because it specifies the realities of what love truly is in specific commandments. If we truly love we will not be violating any of the commandments.

So, the law shows those who don't have the love of God in their hearts that they have not yet been born again (see 2 Corinthians 13:5).

 

[justbyfaith]

Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

If you look back to the law to try and be obedient to it you are cursed. You place yourself under the law of sin and death. Just like Paul says in Galatians 3:10

Again, Galatians 3:10, in context, is speaking of those who attempt to be justified by the law.

For those who know that they know that they know that they are justified through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, they are blessed if they look into the perfect law of liberty and continue in it (James 1:25).

Your contention that the ten commandments is not the law of liberty but the law of sin and death is not anything that you can prove in holy scripture and I believe that it is unfounded in holy scripture.

If the law of sin and death is the ten commandments, then the law of sin and death is written on the hearts and minds of New Covenant believers (Hebrews 8:8-10, Hebrews 10:16, Romans 8:7, Romans 8:4, 1 John 5:3, 2 John 1:6, Romans 13:8-10; Romans 5:5; 1 John 2:3-6, 1 Corinthians 9:21).

And round and round we go; because you do not read the scriptures that are referenced but simply want to argue your own viewpoint.

There is NO WAY AROUND IT. The Ministry of Condemnation and Death is not your friend. You need to be delivered from that death. And then you need to do what Paul says and not be entangled AGAIN with the yoke of bondage. Otherwise, Christ will become of no effect to you who try to be Justified by the Law, you will have fallen from Grace.

And since I am not seeking to be justified by the law, your point is moot.

AMEN - Righteousness thru CHRIST and no one and nothing else.

Let the Word of God Sum IT up for us:
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

I agree with you here....

As believers in Christ we are no longer bound to the letter of the law but are set free to be obedient to the spirit of what is written (Romans 7:6). This has to do with walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-24)...then the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us (Romans 8:4).

There was definitely a change in the law when there was a change in priesthood (Hebrews 7:12)...

We are no longer bound to a set of do's and don'ts but we walk according to one of two principles at any given moment in our Christian walk...the flesh or the Spirit.

For the unbeliever, who is still seeking to enter into the kingdom based on their personal merits, works, or law-keeping, they are required to obey all of the laws in the Old Testament....every single one of them perfectly from conception into eternity (Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48).

For the believer in Christ, the law is fulfilled in him when he obeys the principle of the Holy Spirit dwelling within him.
