The Ten Commandments are the Covenant, did you know?

Everybody on these forums knows how things work in the scriptures, first we have Jesus Christ witnessed in the law and the prophets, who fulfils all things, that is why He is prophesised in the old testament, because all that was going on with the Judaic law, and the world was chaos.

Now this thread is about the ten commandments, and right now we can focus on what it meant to keep the first covenant, of those ten commandments, and of the transgression of that law that God gave to Israel.

In the prophets here in Isaiah 53, we have details of the Messiah pouring out ( like water) HIs soul unto death, and we hear also this is Him bearing the sin of many, and it is the Messiah who made intercession for the transgressors.

So right away go to Hebrews 9, and we see the message continuing, that by means of death ( of the Lord Jesus Christ.) those which are called might receive the promise, ( Jesus Christ confirmed the promises made unto the fathers/we are saved by that hope ministered to us for the truth of God. Romans 15:8) of eternal inheritance. For that reason Jesus Christ is the mediator of the new testament, for redemption of those transgressions that were under the first testament, ( the old testament.)

Jesus Christ offering Himself without spot to God ( as Isaiah 53 prophesised first) to purge ( by that sacrifice) our CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS ( of the dead law) to serve the LIVING God. ( See Acts 2:33-36/17:31, how Jesus Christ received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost/received gifts for men when He ascended on high Psalm 68:18, which lets the house of Israel know assuredly that God made the same Jesus who they crucified, both Lord and Christ, appointing a day which He will judge the world by that man whom He ordained, which gives assurance to all men that He has risen Him from the dead/it is witnessed that He lives, He ever lives to make intercession for us, He is He that lives and was dead, and behold He is alive for evermore, and has the keys of death and hell. Hebrews 7:8/25. Revelation 1:18.




Psalm 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.

Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.

Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Hebrews 7:8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.




Continuing the order of how things are explained to all in the world by these scriptures. The redemption the world has been made aware of is in Christ Jesus. Set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, declaring His righteousness to those which believe in Jesus. ( which justifies them) By the law of faith, not of works, and concluding that a man is justified by faith, and faith is without the works of the law.

All things from there work good to those who love Go and are called, ( to these promises of faith) predestined to be made in the image of HIs Son, to be called, justified and glorified, God delivered HIs own Son to FREELY give us all things, nobody can lay chage to Gods elect, it is God which JUSTIFIES, who can CONDEMN when it is Christ that died and is risen again, at the right hand of God who makes INTERCESSION for us ? We are conquerors through Him that LOVED US.




Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.




Keeping going in the order of events. We have known by all we are testified ( to those who believe in the promises fulfilled in Christ) a man is NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but BY THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST, ( to those who have believed in Jesus Christ.) to be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH OF CHRIST. ( NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO FLESH IS JUSTIFIED.)

As we seek to be justified by Christ, we cannot be found to be sinners, Christ is NOT THE MINISTER OF SIN, if we have to rebuild again what we destroy, this is being a TRANSGRESSOR.

But we are DEAD TO THE LAW, through the LAW, and so we can LIVE UNTO GOD. The life we now live in the flesh we live by the FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, who loved us and GAVE HIMSELF FOR US. ( IF RIGHTEOUSNESS CAME BY THE LAW THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN/the GRACE of God did NOT COME BY THE LAW.)



Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Christ our High priest lives for ever can always make INTERCESSION for us, ( intercession for the transgressors/Isaiah 53.) and that High priest became us to be holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners. The law has men who have infirmities, but the word of the oath ( the promises of God/that He will be a priest forever after the order of Melchizedec/who met with Abraham.) makes the Son consecrated, for evermore. a High priest forever after the order of Melchizedec.)



Hebrews 7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.




How does the LAW OF LIBERTY work ? It cant be as those in the first covenant/law understand it, because it cant be at all without belief in the promises of God, which are NOT THE LAW, but told in the law and the prophets. Then we see through faith it is by belief in the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, which will be our way to be saved. ( MERCY REJOICES AGANST JUDGEMENT.)

Now here is a UNIQUE testimony for this thread. Peter standing next to JAMES, tells how we are saved with our hearts purified by faith, and to not tempt God by works/laws which the house of Israel was UNABLE TO BEAR. But to BELIEVE that THROUGH THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WE SHALL BE SAVED. ( Jew and Gentile.)

JAMES answers next, of Simon Peters same testimony, and of the Gentiles and the residue of men might seek after the Lord and all the Gentiles upon whom HIS NAME IS CALLED, says the Lord, to not trouble those who among the Gentiles are turned to God, ( as this was law following Jews troubling the Gentiles) but generally reminding them to keep from idols, fornication and from blood. (NO LAWS EVIDENT.)




Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

Acts 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

Acts 15:29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: FROM WHICH IF YE KEEP YOURSELVES, YE SHALL DO WELL. Fare ye well.

James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.




We have that advocate, we keep His commandments if we know Him, not keep HIs commandments to know Him, that is the difference between faith and those who TEACH LAW. ( they do not teach faith by the hearing of it, they teach law by hearing no faith.)

We are to walk as Christ walked. ( we WALK BY FAITH, not by sight/sight is the law, the ten commandments seen on tables of stone.) The commandment from the beginning was to love our brother, it is new because now the true light is shining. 9 John 1:9.)




2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight

1 John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

1 John 2:8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.




If we believe in the light ( faith in Christ who is that light come into the world) we love our brother as we abide in the light, we do not stumble from loving our brother being in the light, those who hate their brother, ( not of faith/IN THE LAW.) are in darkness, ( Christ has not shined in their hearts to give the light of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ to them under the vail/darkness of the law. 1 Corinthians 4:6.) John writes to us because our sins are forgiven for HIs names sake. ( He writes to us for FAITH, NOT LAW.)



2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

1 John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
12 I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.




This is the love of God manifested, by SENDING HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD, for us to live through Him, God sent His Son to be PROITIATION for our sins. This is our calling to love one another, ( HOW IS IT THE LAW/TEXHERS OF THE LAW, CALLING US ? )we also know through faith this is us dwelling in God and God dwelling in us, the Spirit given through faith in Christ, testifying that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world, for us to confess that Jesus is the Son of God for God to dwell in us and we to dwell in Him, we knowing and believing the love God has towards us, ( the love of God MANIFESTED) that God is love and if we dwell in love we dwell in Gd and God dwells in us. This is the boldness we have in the day of judgement/believing Christ is in the world with us. ( no boldness will come through the law and those who follow it. )



1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
