Jesus' death and resurrection is the Gospel that has the power to save us.
Not the law, the 10 Commandments were given for the purpose of showing us what awful sinners we are.
The law was added because of transgression,, it was a tutor that taught us what awful sinners we are. Then we could acknowledge our need for Christ.
Now that we are in Christ, we are no longer under the tutor. Should we forget what the law taught us, no.
We should always remember that without Christ we are awful sinners.
The law is not made for the righteous, but for the lawless and disobedient.
Those who are in Christ are obedient to faith. Romans 1:5
The law is not of faith, so if you are preaching that we need to keep the law, you are being disobedient to faith.
The Sabbath was a sign of the Old Covenant, Exodus 31:13, we are not under the Old Covenant.
Yes the Sabbath was a sign for the Sinai covenant made with the nation of Israel. I think we all overlook how the Sinai covenant accounted sin. Israel as a fleshly entity is judged by the law in a collective sense of their carnal generations. We see the collective nature of sin here....
Achan sinned...
But-- the children of Israel committed a trespass. Achan took the accursed thing...but the anger of the Lord was kindled against the children of Israel.
Jos 7:1 But the
children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and
the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
The collective nature of sin.....
Two and 1/2 tribes build an alter like to the altar of God.....
Jos 22:15 And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which
we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
18 But that
ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing
ye rebel to day against the LORD, that
to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
Jos 22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and
wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man
perished not alone in his iniquity.
The collective in Christ is not according to a carnal collective of generations. Rather we are all
regenerate unto a spiritual collective.
