Mt 5:17 I have not come to abolish the law nor the prophet by to full fill the law. Those who are born in the Messiah, to them he has written the law in their hearts. That person will understand he has to keep the law or not.

We have the Holy Spirit. On The New Pentecost God Gave The Spirit.The Life of a child of God is a,Spirit Led life and the Holy Spirit Is A Divine Person Who we Follow.We don't try to keep a law that was simply our Tutor to bring us to Christ because we are Not Spiritually dead. We Follow the Life of God now by His Word and By His Spirit Within in us .2 Corinthians 3 Is Clear that the 10 Commandments were a Ministry of Death Written and Engraved on Stones now we Follow the Ministry that Gives Life... A ministry that Points To Looking at Christ Not ourselves because the Law made us see ourselves but The Spirit makes us weCChrist.

The law of God is given for our help and guidance. Jesus did not 'fulfill Gods law' so that we don't have to keep them. God's law gives us guidance as how to behave and be happy. The first 4 commandments tell us to respect and love God above all else, the other 6 tell us how to treat other people. Jesus would not do away with guidelines which were given to help us - would he want us to kill, steal, commit adultery or take His name in vain, NO. His example shows us that he respected God and man, in that order. He walked with God, praying daily. We can enjoy victory in keeping Gods law only in as much as we commit ourselves daily to God asking the Holy Spirit for help and acting as He prompts us. Jesus died for us, the Perfect Sacrifice because we cannot stand blameless before God BUT never think that Jesus did away with the law. " not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law ...until heaven and earth disappear.." Matt5:18. Stop seeing the law in a negative light but rather see a glimpse of Gods character. By His wonderful Holy Spirit we can behave toward God and man as taught in the law. Love it.

Bret - Jesus came to fulfill all God's laws on our behalf, so now I don't have to keep them. Matthew 3:15 says Jesus was baptized to fulfill all righteousness, so now I don't have to be righteous?
Debbie - the Torah is not the covenant. The covenant was the agreement to keep the Torah. The so called "old covenant" is not the Torah. What was broken was the agreement. The Torah is perfect, righteous, and holy.

Malak- God gave Moses how many Laws? The Pharisees were the ones that developed God's Laws into 613 Pharisaic laws. Things such as how much cumin one must tithe, for instance. Jesus came to fulfill ALL of GOD's Laws on our behalf.

To Debbie Jesus only came to fulfill one law and that is the sacrificial law. Remember God gave Moses 613 Laws, not one Jesus only fulfilled one Law. God never changes, but man always changes Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and for ever. So how could we done with the Law? Revelation 22:14 says Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in the through the gates into the city. Quit listening to those christian teacher and read 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

the law and prophets were only up to John in Luke 16: 16. after Jesus went to the cross and nailed the law to the cross the law (old covenant) was done away and He established a better covenant established on better promises. Romans 6:14 says we are not under the law but under grace now. jesus said He came to fulfil the law and once fulfilled He went to the cross nailed it there. now it is a new covenant that is why His Blood is why when we take communion the verse says this is the cup of the new covenant in His Blood.
