[QUOTE="Soyeong, post: 70241686, member: 375022"] Jesus summarized the Mosaic law as being about how to love God and how to love your neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40) and love fulfills the entire law (Galatians 5:14), so it is the law of love. The law is a revelation of God's holy, righteous, and good standard (Romans 7:12), so unless God's holiness, righteousness, and goodness have change or been done away with, then it remains the yardstick. You even granted that the law a way to know God's nature, so why would you say that God's nature is no longer the yardstick? If not God's nature, then what else would be the yardstick? Obedience to God's commands has always been about demonstrating our love for Him and if it doesn't come from the heart, then it is a perversion of God's law, and God has always disdained in when His people honored Him with their lips while their hearts were far from Him (Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:6-8). The law was given because of sin to reveal what sin is and without it we wouldn't even know what sin was (Roman 7:7), and it is never a good it to do what God has revealed to be sin and to avoid doing what God has revealed to be holy, righteous and good. It does not make any sense to me why you would think that disobeying God or acting against His revealed nature could ever be a good idea. Paul directly said that we should not sin that grace may abound (Romans 6:1). Jesus said that if we love him, then we will keep his commands (John 14:15), so there are no commands of God that are not a way to express our love, and there is no possible way to love God or our neighbor without acting in accordance with His law.
