Part 3
Galatians 2-Dead to the Law of the Covenant, By Our Faith in Christ
7. We are not to fall into the bondage of Circumcision which is by the law of the
covenant(
Galatians 2:3,4,5). There is no flesh justified by the works of the law of
Moses(
Galatians 2:16) if we now build again that which is of the law and keep it, that is to say put ourselves back into bondage, we become transgressors(
Galatians 2:4,18) for if
righteousness came by the law then Christ died in vain(
Galatians 2:21). Now we who are of
Christ are justified by our faith in Christ(
Galatians 2:16) it is in this faith that we are dead to law by Christ(
Galatians 2:19,20) through which now we also live by the faith which Is
Christ(
Galatians 2:20).
Romans 8-Law of the Spirit, has made us free from the Law of Sin and Death
8. The Law of the covenant was weak by the flesh(
Romans 8:3,1) and they that keep the law of the covenant are carnally minded(
Romans 8:5,6,7), in so much that they are an eminity against God and cannot please him(
Romans 8:6,7,8) for to be after the Flesh and the law of the Flesh is Death(the law of the Covenant is death)(
Romans 8:6,13). The Law of the spirit of Life that is Christ has made us free from the Law of sin and death(Law of the Covenant which is of the Flesh)(
Romans 8:2) that we who are of the Spirit walk not after the Flesh(Law of the Covenant) but after the spirit(
Romans 8:1,4,14) are given a new spiritual mind not of the Flesh(
Romans 8:5) in like manner also we are dead to Flesh by Christ, being raised up again in the Spirit(
Romans 8:9,10,11,13,16,23) so that we will never again be put under the bondage that is in the law of the covenant(
Galatians 5), nor yet even be put under the Spirit of Bondage that is by the Mosaic law(
Romans 8:12,15,21). It is this Newness of Spirit, that comes not by the Law of the Covenant which is after the flesh(
Romans 8:1,3,6,13;
Romans 7:17,18,19,21,23,24,25), that we become the Children of God and Joint Heirs with Christ(
Romans 7:16,17,21,23;
Galatians 4:30) so we are now saved by the Hope and Promise of Faith which is Christ(
Romans 8:24,25).
Romans 6-Freed from the Law of sin and Death, being Born again in the Spirit Through Christ
9. We who are of Christ are dead in Christ(
Romans 6:3,4,5,8) that we may be raised in the
Newness of spirit,(
Romans 6:4,5,8,10,11,13) our body of sin being destroyed, we are freed from sin(
Romans 6:6,7) being made dead in the likeness of Christ, we are also made dead to sin(
Romans 6:2,11,12,14,18,22). Those who are freed from sin are no Longer subject to the Law of the Covenant(
Romans 6:14,15) but are now under grace(
Romans 6:14,15). Now that we are made free from sin and the Law of Sin and Death(
Romans 6:2,6,7,11,12,14,15,18,22;
Romans 8:2) we should not again Yield ourselves to being servants of sin(
Romans 6:16,13,20), but instead become the servants of righteousness(
Romans 6:13,17,18,19,22) whose end is everlasting Life Through Christ(
Romans 6:22,23).
Romans 10-Christ is the End of the Law
10. Those who have submitted themselves unto the Law of Faith, have become partakers of the Righteousness of Faith(
Romans 10:3,6,10), Christ is the End of the Law(Law of the Covenant) for righteousness sake(
Romans 10:4; Matt 3:15) those who have faith and believe on Christ will be saved(
Romans 10:8,9,10,11,13,17). Those who seek to follow the Law of Moses, do so without the Knowledge of the Law of Faith(
Romans 10:2,3), for the righteousness that was of the Law came by keeping the whole law(
Romans 10:5;
Galatians 5:3,4;
Galatians 3:10,12;
Romans 3:19,20,27) but since no man could keep the whole law(
Galatians 2:16) Christ fulfilled the law putting an end to the righteousness that came by keeping every ordinance contained inside the Book of the Covenant(
Romans 10:4;
Romans 3:21,22,24,25).
Acts 13-Christ is the Fulfillment of the Law
11. Christ is the Fulfillment of the Promise of Faith after the Seed(Acts 13:22,23) John fulfilled what was foretold of him(Acts 13:24,25) the word of Salvation is sent to all peoples who fear God(Acts 13:26). By Denying Christ and persecuting him those who Sat in Moses's Seat fulfilled the words of the Prophets(Acts 13:27,28) once they had made an end of the things that were foretold to be done to Christ while he was yet living, they took him down from the Cross and buried him(Acts 13:29,30) then he raised himself from the grave(Acts 13:30,33-37;
John 2:19-21 John 10:17-18). Now through Christ are we justified from the things contained within the Law of the Covenant(Acts 13:38-40).
Galatians 6-Law of Christ is not of the Flesh
12. We should not now reap the things that were after the Law of the Flesh(
Galatians 6:7,8,12) for not even they who are of the Law of the Covenant, which is after the Flesh, keep the law (
Galatians 6:13). The things of the Law are Carnal, of the Flesh(
Galatians 6:7,8,12,13) we who are spiritual(
Galatians 6:1,15) reap spiritual things(
Galatians 6:7,8,9) after the Law of Christ(
Galatians 6:2). Even in the time of the Apostles there were sects of people rising up who taught contrary to the doctrine of the apostles, teaching people that circumcision of the Flesh was necessary as was the keeping the Mosaic Law(Acts 15:5,7,8,9,10,11). The Lord did not break the covenant he completed it(Matt 5:17-20,
Colossians 2:14-15) the lord did not alter the words that he spoke but brought them to fulfillment(
Hebrews 12:2,
John 19:30).

Everything the Lord God YHWH says shall come to pass, when he said the Old covenant will
not stand(
Jeremiah 31:31-34,
Isaiah 28:13-19,
Ezekiel 36:25-27,29-31), he meant it would not stand. When he said he would make a new covenant he meant just that, he would make a new covenant.
The Old covenant lasted forever,
Strong’s Concordance-Olam. 5769
Long time, time out of mind (past or future), i.e. (practically) eternity,)ancient time, lasting,
-more, of old), lasting, long (time), (of) old (time), ))
While the terms(Hebrew `ôlām or the Greek aiōn/aiōnios) may be translated “forever” or
“everlasting/eternal” in English, both the Hebrew and Greek words derive their length from the nature of the object described. Hebrew and Greek words had multiple meanings and only by comparing scripture with like scripture and looking at the full picture of what is being said, can we see the words true meaning.
The Book of the Covenant(
Exodus 34:27;
Exodus 24:7;
2 Kings 23:21;
2 Kings 23:2) was only for a time, that is why he said there was going to be a new covenant(
Jeremiah 31:31-34,
Isaiah 28:10,13-19,
Ezekiel 36:23-27,29-31). That is why the book of law, written by the hand of Moses(
Exodus 34:27;
Nehemiah 9:13,14) was not placed inside the ark of the Covenant with the ten commandments that were written in stone by the finger of God Twice (
Deuteronomy 10:2-5;
Exodus 25:16;
Exodus 31:16-18;
Exodus 34:1), but were instead placed by the side of the ark( Deut 31:26) signifying that the book of law(the book of the covenant) was only for a time.
