Last week, the truth was clearly presented from God’s Word that God’s dealings with us or God’s responses to us are no longer dependent upon our adherence to the Law God gave the children of Israel through Moses, but upon our faith alone in Jesus Christ and His finished work. Why?
Because the ultimate purpose of the Law has been fulfilled in Christ!
Because by His life and death Christ has brought the Law to its completion or fulfillment!
Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfil them.” (Matt. 5:17 AMP).
Romans 10:4(NLT). For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.
“What then was the purpose of the Law? It was added [later on, after the promise, to disclose and expose to men their guilt] because of transgressions and [to make men more conscious of the sinfulness] of sin; and it was intended to be in effect until the Seed (the Descendant, the Heir) should come, to and concerning Whom the promise had been made. And it [the Law] was arranged and ordained and appointed through the instrumentality of angels [and was given] by the hand (in the person) of a go-between [Moses, an intermediary person between God and man].” (Gal. 3:19 AMP).
Through the body of Christ, the born-again believers have become dead to the Law and thus discharged or delivered from the Law. As a believer in Christ, you are no longer expected to live under the Law or in subject to the old written regulations of the Old Covenant. Your worship, service or giving to God should no longer be regulated or determined by the letter, the old written code, or regulations of the Old Testament.
If the born-again believers are no longer expected to live by the Law, walk with God, worship and serve God, or give to God according to the specifications or regulations of the Law, how then should they live, worship, serve, and walk with God?
