Snippet on: Is the law binding for Christians today?

Image
  Should Christians keep the law today? The Old Testament law was given to the children of Israel, not to Christians. The laws in the Old Testament were to reveal three things to the children of Israel:     How they were to obey and please God (the Ten Commandments , for example).     To show them how to worship God and atone for sin (the sacrificial system ).   To make them distinct from other nations (the food and clothing rules ). The Old Testament laws are NOT binding on Christians today. When Jesus died on the cross, He put an end to the Old Testament law.    Yes, he did!! Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. Galatians 3:23–25 - But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterward be revealed.  24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.  25 But after that faith ha...

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.   Wow! Just wow!

He revealed himself to his disciples John 10:30 “The Father and I are one.” John 14:8-11  “’ Philip,’ Jesus replied, ‘after I ...

Treasures of the Law of God: Understanding the law of God vs, the commandments of God

Image
Law of God Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10). The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into its  Luke 16:16. The law has been abolished Ephesians 2:15 What do Romans and Galatians say about the law? We are not under the law Romans 6:14; Gal. 5:18 We are dead to the law, Romans 7:4 We are delivered from the law, Romans 7:6 Christ is the end of the law Romans 10:4 The law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, we are no longer under the schoolmaster.

A Glimpse of the Seal of God's Treasures

A Glimpse of the Seal of God's Treasures The Old Testament Seal vs. the New Testament Seal of God The Bible speaks of a "seal" in both the Old and New Testaments, but the nature of the seal changes under the New Covenant. The Old Testament seal was primarily an external covenant sign , while the New Testament seal is the indwelling Holy Spirit . 1. The Sabbath as a Sign (Seal) in the Old Testament Although the word "seal" is not always used directly of the Sabbath, God calls it a sign between Himself and Israel. Exodus 31:13 "Surely my sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you." Exodus 31:16-17 "Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath... It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever." Ezekiel 20:12 "Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the...
