Establish The Law

[Minister Monardo]

Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

Establish-[G2476] histemi=set, stand, make stand, establish

Romans 5:
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Romans 10:
3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness,
have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Ephesians 6:
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.

We "Establish the Law" as born again Christians under the NEW Covenant of Jer 31:31-34 since that covenant writes the moral LAW of God known to Jeremiah and his readers - on the heart and mind. Heb 8:6-12

We establish the law on its right basis, not as a means of salvation, but as s means of sanctification.

Yes. Jesus is our sanctification. Our all-in-one source for righteousness.

1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Without commentary your point is not clear. Can you expand on what you mean by quoting these verses and your focus of this verb "to stand"

 

[Minister Monardo]

I presented them as a meditation on the Word of God. That is not something I can do for another. I am not trying to be snarky, let the word study and the verses speak to you personally. This just came to my mind as I was responding, listening to Falling Up, The Woodworker.
Psalm 1:
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

"And I wait, in the shivering night,
Somewhere a voice spoke inside.
And you climb, through the window outside,
And you told me to search for you there, in the Mystery".

A wonderful song from their final album.
Have a blessed day.
James

Yes. Jesus is our sanctification. Our all-in-one source for righteousness.

Jesus is our righteousness in that his atonement and sacrifice removed our sin, unrighteousness.

There is:
1) forensic righteousness - imputed in God's declaration of "not guilty," sentence of acquittal, finding of right standing with the Court; i.e., penalty paid, time served, nothing owing to the Court,
2) actual righteousness - through obedience in the Holy Spirit which leads to righteousness leading to holinesss (Ro 6:16, 19), and
3) Jesus our righteousness - his atoning sacrifice removing our sin, unrighteousness.

There is a text which tells us Jesus is our sanctification.

1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1Co 1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

There are two laws spoken of in Romans 3 i.e. verse 27, one law it requires "works" and one requires "Faith", these were of the two covenants.

So, what Paul is saying that the Law that requires "works" is uphold by the Law of "Faith"..

No, there are two principles of justification spoken of in Ro 3:27-28: faith and law, and they are mutually exclusive.
To rely on one is necessarily to deny the other.

Ok, how is your bible translates Romans 3:27? Thanks

The Greek reads: "Where therefore the boasting? It was shut out. Through what Law? of works? no, but through a law of faith."

In the NT, faith is not law, faith is grace.

The word "law" is being used in the Greek to mean a principle of operation.

Boasting is shut out by the principle of faith, which exlcudes the principle of works in salvation, and leaving no good works to boast about.

How is what you're saying true? The NKJV and the KJV both interpret the Greek the same way and the same Greek word is used in both instances of the word law.

Grammar, context and the context of NT teaching show the meaning.

Sorry, but I don't buy that. The Greek and English grammar of the text in question disprove that.

 

[Clare73]

In the NT, law and faith are opposing principles of salvation.
Faith is not law, faith is set in opposition to law, both of them being principles of operation in regard to being saved from God's wrath (Ro 5:9) on one's sin.

Galatians 6:
1 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore
such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

 

[Minister Monardo]

In the NT, law and faith are opposing principles of salvation.

That is exactly the opposite of what the reference verse states:
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

The only law that opposes faith is the law of sin and death.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

And in Galatians 5 Paul says the following:

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

He says that in contrast to the sins he lists immediately previously.
