It might not be the best idea to share these laws with people especially when it increased sin in even the apostle Paul. If you want to preach law you must support and enjoy sin because you are using the tool that increases it and gives it power.
Oh and I would love to hear the answer to Pauls question. Have to or what? You are correct in saying that one cannot choose what points of the Law to obey. If you obey one you must obey every single one of them. More than one law is spoken of on James 2. The royal law- love your neighbor as yourself came from Jesus. Some of the 10 commandments are mentioned. Then there is the law of liberty which Peter clearly says Acts 15 is not the laws given to Moses.
Those laws he calls burdens not even our fathers could bear. Romans 7 says that the law stirs up sin and brings death.
Galatians describes what bondage is as well. Listen to scriptures not the traditions of men. I used to really struggle with this verse.
Grace has changed that. Living by faith is a mode of operation where our behaviors and attitudes originate from our spirit union with Christ. The Law was given to our flesh, not our spirit. This is because he lived out of his union with his Father. They still think there is hope in trying to keep it — they still have confidence in the flesh.
The upholding of the law has not happened. That is exactly what we do when we choose to live by faith — when we choose to live from spirit. By choosing faith we are submitting to what the law teaches us. The Torah can be kept, provided one is not in bondage to sin. King Josiah, for example, kept the whole Torah 2 Kings ; Evidently Josiah was under grace.
The Torah was never intended to bring about complete justification for anyone; the righteousness reckoned through the Torah Psalm , Ezekiel was merely provisional. But now that the fullness of time has come, our faith is reckoned as righteousness, in that we share that faith in common with Christ.
Thank you for this wonderful writing. Please sir, I would like you to elaborate more, should we then kill, or hate someone, or slander people because of Grace?. Because Pual talked about the law of Christ. Also what do Pual mean by the law of Christ?.
The Law was given to point direct us to learn to trust in Christ. We, acknowledge His faith when we acknowledge His ability rather than our own. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Rom , KJV The scriptures declare again and again that faith has nothing in common with law, and living under one nullifies the other. By trusting in Jesus who kept the law perfectly and by whose perfect sacrifice we are made righteous: So the law was put in charge of us until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Rom Romans says we uphold the law by faith.
Not at all! As long as you end up with Jesus, then you uphold the law The Jews were misusing the law. Paul wrote to correct this: No one is righteous. Share this good news! Like this: Like Loading This is absolutely superb. Romans establishes three things concerning the law. I heard that the law is the torah so is said everything in it i just try to understand.
I was recently studying Romans 3, picked up these very points, Paul. One of your best. Anthony B. Thank you. How do you explain that? Allow me to clarify: by law I mean the law of Moses and any other law you may substitute. I disagree with this. He also says that the Torah can be and must be kept by Christians.
Romans , Christians are slaves of righteousness. Some great points, Jenny. You fit about half of the New Testament in one comment.

Matthew a 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away , not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Luke But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void. Take a look outside to verify…. Paul himself observed and kept the Law of God given through Moses for his entire life.
Acts b Thus all will know that there is nothing in what they have been told about you, but that you yourself Paul also live in observance of the law. I'm taking responsibility for my own beliefs, by testing the doctrines that I was taught to the whole Word of God; 2 Corinthians This blog is dedicated to examining the scriptures, in context, specifically those of the apostle Paul. It's a "scriptural apologetics" for Paul living out and teaching the Law of God given through Moses.
The Law, God's Instructions, do not save nor were they designed to. The Almighty's Righteous Instructions are the 'Way' He wants His chosen, set-apart people to live; and they are forever, as I will let the Scriptures prove.

What then becomes of the Law? Deuteronomy Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations , Deuteronomy Be careful to obey all these words that I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever , when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
Is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob a liar? Need I go on? Side note: the last three verses have something else in common. Deuteronomy ,19 15 See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments … 19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today , that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.
Romans Do we then make void the law through faith? But in both instances, the same trusting faith is about firmly relying on Jesus Christ alone. Previous: Romans Next: Romans My passion is to share as the Word of God [ read more ]. My mission is spreading the gospel of Jesus [ read more ].
Romans Current Topic. Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too, since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
