Then there's the rest of it ,as He spoke of the new covenant- God's will is His perfect commandments, which tell us what sin is. This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Yes, Paul explains this fact. He, in the King James version, calls the law the schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Then he goes on to explain that once we are aware of our sinful condition and accept Jesus as Savior we are no longer under the law of sin and death. Here, read it for yourself: Gal 3:
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards 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 is come,
we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
2Cor 3:
7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones,(10 commandments) was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which
glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For
if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
Better yet read those verses in the NIT
7 Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!
I challenge you to study those verses along with Galatians 3 and 4. Those verses will change your life forever if you approach them with the power of the Holy Spirit. See the green verses below. We can know we belong to the truth if we follow John's teaching. believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
Those are God's commands for Christians. The Torah was the commands for Israel only. They have no bearing on Christianity. If we love one another we will do all that is moral. All is much more that the 9 listed commands in the 10 commandments.
