We Are No Longer Burdened By Slavery,

So we wonder what that burden was; it was the chains
of the old law. We are no longer shackled by that yoke.
The old law led to death and so to be tethered to the old
law is putting a burden on us that was removed by Christ
crucified. Scripture says: Christ is of no value to those
who feel obligated to the old law. We have been freed
by Christ and His two commandments which are : Love
the Lord your God and Love your neighbor as yourself.
To that end scripture says Love fulfils all the law. Some
feel we are still under the ten commandments but Jesus
not only fulfilled all of that law but made it eve more sever.
For example, Jesus said the old commandment says you
shall not kill; but I say anyone who is angry at his neighbor
has already broken that law. So in say love fulfils all the
law does not makes us beneath the law but above the law.
To that end, we are living in the Spirit and no longer living
in the flesh.

I must obey my Master and Savior, Jesus, Yeshua.

He teaches how the law is now, what He has done and is doing, and how we should never teach against any of the laws, not even the least of the laws for it will bring eternal dishonor to whomever does teach against it.

If Jesus tells me the law, as it stands after what He has fulfilled is yet to be honored in grae and mercy, then I must do as He teaches for only the curse of the law, death, was crucifed with Him on the cross, not all of the law, for the laws that remain are all contained in love…..with faith, mercy and justice contained within……..He teaches this, not a dogma of men … keep doing the works of God, and I will do my best to learn. All bessings in Jesus Christ…..

Since the old covenant has been made obsolete, does this leave us with no moral direction? Absolutely not. God made obsolete the old covenant to "put legally into place" the new covenant (2 Corinthians 3:6-9; Hebrews 8:6-13). The life of discipleship flows out of the new command, to love one another as He loved us (John 13:34), which Paul refers to as the "law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2). Love fulfills the law (Romans 13:8-10). May we obey the Lord as believers in Christ (not as a legalistic prescription to obtain salvation by law keeping) but out of love and gratitude for who He is and for all that He has done for us. I praise my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! :love:

Post script: I am well aware there is nothing I can do to save my soul for no man can ransom his soul. I am saved by the grace and the mercy that are afforded by the blessed blood of Jesus, Yeshua. Because of this and my new nature, I am overjoyed to do all possible to please the Father, knowing always only He is doing the work of perfecting me, to be fufilled o on His glorious and wonderful day, amen.
