The moral laws must have been present from the start. Adam sinned, and cain sinned, and the people before the flood were all sinning. The moral law defines sin.
Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Rom 3:20 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.
Rom 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses,.....
The moral law has always been there. It is true we can not be saved by keeping the law but we are told to follow the master we love.
If you follow satan your actions and deeds, your works will be shown.
If you follow Jesus the law will be followed not to be saved but because you love your master.
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Because Jesus lived a perfect live and will give His perfect righteousness to cover our sin stained lives, this does not mean we can transgress the moral law on purpose.
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
the law came after mans corruption and sin as a response to mans transgression
“Wherefore then serveth
the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was
ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.”
Galatians 3:19 KJV
You can actually see it come as a response to mans sin like this
“And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”
Genesis 4:6-8 KJV
that’s why God said this
“Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.”
Genesis 9:6 KJV
which became in the law “ thou shalt not kill “ anyone who kills must surely
Be put to death “
before Man
became wicked there was no need to teach man what they better not do or else as sin grew in man the laws of morality became necassary
It’s a wicked person who’s inclined to kill that you tell “don’t do it or else “ it’s when a person is a liar that you have to teach them not to lie , a person who is driven by sexual lust that’s who you have to tell out sexual morality laws and marriage and adultery ect
at here was no law needed until man began to sin and became wicked the law came because of mans wickedness
“And GOD saw that
the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. ( mankind needs now to be told what’s right and wrong and need to be told stop sinning or you will die )
And it
repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
And the LORD said,
I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for
it repenteth me that I have made them.”
Genesis 6:5-7
The law of Moses ( everything Moses wrote on his book ) was added in later by Moses from Mount Sinai
“For
the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
John 1:17 KJV
Christian morals come by the gospel not the law one word is carnal the other is spiritual one will solve the problem
Of the sin the other will Antagonize
“Ye have heard that
it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: ( a ten commandment )
but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.”
Matthew 5:27-28 KJV
if we look at the spiritual and follow it will remove the action from
Our life no one commits adultery if they don’t allow themselves to lust and plot and plan beforehand we need to solve our inner issues that will remove the actions of sin everything we do comes from inside our heart we need to go to the gospel and learn about the spiritual things of God
awe only commit sexual sin whether adultery or for ovation or really any perversion men do we only do that because we harbor lustful thoughts and desires and intentions jesus is calling us to solve the issue that leads
Man to sin
the law is like putting handcuffs on a criminal it’s a restraint for the flesh until the gospel was given and spirit came forth if we have a corrupt heart always desiring lustful sinful things , and we restrain ourselves from the act , we haven’t solved anything we’re just wearing a shackle
we need to change
this issue and the gospel Is able to do it the law is not able only faith can change this
“And he said, That which
cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
For
from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: all these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”
Mark 7:20-23 KJV
The gospel is about solving that issue that’s what faith is about you hear the gospel and believe the things Jesus came to tell us and his word is able to do this and heal Our heart
Hearing and believing the gospel does this to solve the issue we have that leads us to act sinfully
“For
the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
that’s why this is salvation for all who believe
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.”
Mark 16:15-16 KJV
because moses word isn’t this word but the gospel is
“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath
committed all judgment unto the Son:
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:22, 24 KJV
The gospel , the things Jesus taught his disciples is where a Christian finds the morality of Gods children we
don’t find it in Moses law Moses law was given to the carnal unspiritual people these folks need to be told “ don’t lie cheat and steal or I’ll destroy you “
“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;”
1 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV
but the gospel it’s for being reborn changed inside at our heart and mind , taught by the lord who came to be among man who came sayong “ this is me here’s my word of life believe and I will give you eternal Life “
the gospel changes believers the law condemns any and all who have sinned and can’t change a person in any way once you have the gospel the law becomes the old thing that led you there
