[QUOTE="Soyeong, post: 77590469, member: 375022"] Jesus is God's word made flesh and the Mosaic Law is God's word (Deuteronomy 5:31-33), so it would be more accurate for him to say that he is embodiment of the Mosaic Law or that he embodied it by living in sinless obedience it. The Mosaic Law is God's way (Psalms 119:1-3), the truth (Psalms 119:142), and the life (Deuteronomy 32:46-47), and the way to see and know the Father (Exodus 33:13), and Jesus is the embodiment of the way, the truth, and the life, and the way to see and know the Father (John 14:6-7). This is also why everything in the Mosaic Law foreshadows or testifies about Jesus. In Matthew 7:23, Jesus said that he would tell those who are workers of lawlessness to depart from him because he knew knew them, so the goal of the Mosaic Law is to know God and Jesus, which is eternal life (John 17:3), which is also why he said that the way to inherit eternal life is by obeying its commandments (Luke 10:25-28, Matthew 19:17). In Romans 7:21-8:2, Paul said that he delighted in obeying the Law of God and served it with his mind, but contrasted that with the law of sin, which was working within him to cause him not to do the good that he wanted to do, which held him captive, and which he served with his flesh, and he also contrasted the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ with the Law of sin and death, so he equated the Law of God with the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ, after all the Spirit and Christ are God. The Bible refers to the Law of Moses as being the Law of God in verses like Nehemiah 8:1-8, Ezra 7:6-12, and Luke 2:22-23, after all the Law of Moses was given by God. In Romans 8:3-7, those who walk in the Spirit are contrasted with those who have minds set on the flesh who are enemies of God who refuse to submit to the Law of God. The Law of Moses as weakened by our flesh insofar as our flesh hinders us from embodying it, so Jesus frees us from the law of sin so that we might be free to meet the righteous requirement of the Law of Moses. The Law of God is not sinful, but is how we know what sin is (Romans 7:7), and when our sin is revealed, then that leads us to repent and causes sin to decrease, however, the law of sin stirs up sinful passions in order to bear fruit unto death (Romans 7:5), so it is sinful and causes sin to increase. Paul delighted in obeying the Law of God, so verses that refer a law that is sinful, that causes sin to increase, that hinders us from obeying the Law of God, or that refer to doing something that would be absurd for Paul to delight in doing should be interpreted as referring to the law of sin rather than to the Law of God, such as Romans 5:20, Romans 6:14, Romans 7:5, Galatians 2:19, Galatians 5:16-18, and 1 Corinthians 15:56. In Jeremiah 31:33, the New Covenant involves God putting the Mosaic Law in our minds and writing it on our hearts, and in Ezekiel 36:26-27,m it involves God taking away our heart of stone, giving us hearts of flesh, and sending His Spirit to lead us to obey the Mosaic Law. To fulfill the Mosaic Law means "to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be" (NAS Greek Lexicon: pleroo). So Jesus did not fulfill the law on our behalf so that we don't have to, but rather he fulfilled the Mosaic Law so that we should have an example to follow, which we are told to follow (1 Peter 2:21-22). In Psalms 119:29-30, he wanted to put false ways far from him, for God to be gracious to him by teaching him to obey the Mosaic Law, and he chose the way of faith by setting it before him, so this has always been the one and only way of salvation by grace through faith.
