Source: Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: divide
Greek orthotomeo - English dividing - Strongs 3718: "to cut straight" is found in 2 Tim 2:15 "rightly dividing,"
2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, "rightly dividing the word of truth".
(NOTE: We divide by cutting a straight line)
Question: Where do we cut the straight dividing line in the word of truth?
Answer: The Death & Resurrection of Christ
Heb 9:15 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.
(NOTE: While Jesus is alive the old covenant is in full force. The New Testament/Covenant doesn't begin until after Christ's death & resurrection)
2 Cor 3:7 (A) But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, 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:
(NOTE: The ministration of death/law engraved in stones (10 commandments) purpose was to expose & condemn sin. Post sin payment & resurrection is the end of the law for righteousness to all that believe)
1 Jn 3:4 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
NOTE: Sin is the transgression of God's law.)
Scripture proclaims ALL (Rom 3:23, 11:32) have broken God's law & deserve the sentence invoked (Rom 6:23 DEATH). No one can say he is not a sinner until some means is provided (not to take away the law) but to remove the sin, which is the transgression of the law.
FAITH placed in Jesus sin atoning work & resurrection takes away/removes ALL the believers sins. Once sins have been taken away/removed, there is no transgression of the law.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
(NOTE: NT believers aren't under curse of the LAW/ministration of death's condemnation)
Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
(NOTE: A sinless Jesus obedient sacrificial death, burial & fulfilled & paid the laws sin required wage)
Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
(NOTE: (NOTE: Christ sin atoning death & resurrection REDEEMED NT believers from the LAW/ministration of death's condemnation)
Rom 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
(NOTE: Belief in Christ sin atoning death & resurrection is the end of the law for righteousness & beginning of the new covenant. Righteousness by grace thru faith)
Jesus sin atoning payment, found in his death (sins required wage PAID), burial (proof Jesus died) & resurrection (Fathers receipt, sins payment received & accepted). Is seized/accessed via FAITH (Rom 5:1-2, 10:9-10, Eph 1:13,. 2:8) placed in the faithful, obedient work & resurrection of Jesus the Christ!
