A slave to the Law has no kingdom value compared to one who is a slave to Christ.
But God said to labour 6 days a week and rest on the sabbath. He created a 7 day cycle and told us to remember the sabbath to keep it holy. Many have taken this and removed it by saying we rest in Jesus. Yes Jesus is our rest every day of the week but we still need to labour and work. Jesus said the sabbath was made for man and the bible does not say Jesus removed or replaced it. Jesus is the light of the world but the sun still shines and Jesus is the water of life but we still need to drink water.
If you love me keep my commandments. as a slave to Jesus we will love to obey Him. The law is a delight to those that love the Lord.
You said "A slave to the Law has no kingdom value compared to one who is a slave to Christ." I'd say a slave to Christ results in keeping the law. like faith without works are dead. A slave without Christ love and actions is not a slave of Jesus.
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? Jesus said to keep the commandments.
Where does the bible say that.... If we are trying to work our way to heaven without faith in Jesus the works are worth nothing but faith in Jesus does not give us liberty to make void the law. Faith results in works faith does not seperate the worksor remove the works.
Love is the fulfilling of the law.
