Achieve That Psalms additionally, the Prophets Present Christian believers The fact that the Law (God's Commandments) Should really be Followed?

 The clear answer to the question posed in the title of this informative article is YES. The Psalms and the Prophets testify together harmoniously that the commandments of God in bodied in regulations exist today, and are eternal. The main reason this is so, is that God is law, and the written law is really a reflection of both His person and His purposes. I guess this same truth exists on earth of men. For what person or government ever established, and enforced a law which was not after his/its own value system and purpose? Good and righteous men create good and righteous laws. Wicked men create evil and foolish laws. Each after their person, and their purposes.

Therefore, upon this reasoning alone, how will it ever be thought that the laws of the eternal God, who is both creator and master of everything could ever be annulled, or made void? For to create void His law is equal to making God Himself void. Can the One that created everything, and by whose power and wisdom everything are sustained, can this individual be manufactured void? The clear answer is actually no, and neither can His law be manufactured void.

The goal of this informative article would be to stand in opposition to the belief system that proposes that the grace of God that's been revealed by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ has made the Law void by bringing testimony forth from not only New Testament sources, but also the from the Psalms and the Prophets. The very source material that early Apostles preached from and used to determine the New Testament Scripture, and Church.

In the truly amazing treatise that people now reference while the Book Of Romans the Apostle Paul, who in his time was a great promoter and defender of the faith, establishes the fact that Christ stands between the Believer and the Law. That is pointedly spoken of in Roman's 5:14 where it says, "...for ye aren't beneath the law, but under grace." And of course we know this grace (favor) that the apostle is these are is accessed only by the faith of the Believer. Thus, it's written in another place, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is really a gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9, KJV) However, this simple point I'd make. If regulations ceased to exist, when it had been annulled, as much choose to live as though it has been, then your grace of God (which is contained in the person of Christ) wouldn't have to stand between the Believer and the Law. But I would suggest to you, as even the Apostle Paul suggested in his time, that the faith of the Believer in no wise may make void God's law, for please take note of these words spoken by the Apostle Paul, (Romans 3:31 KJV) "Do we then make void regulations through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." It is extremely obvious in my experience that the Book Of Romans, along with the other New Testament books clearly testify that the Believer is justified purely by the mercy of God, completely apart from the keeping of the commandments of regulations, because NO man (with the exception of Christ) has ever had the oppertunity to obey it. However, once a soul of man has been justified by the mercy of God, then righteousness because person's behavior, and consequently a life that rightly testifies of eternal and heavenly realities can only be obtained by obedience to God's commandments.

Why do I as a Christian Preacher bother to talk about this point? It is because the existence of confusion, outright unbelief, and disobedience in regards to the fact that God's laws were never made void, but are in this day, as in every times past, supposed to be fleshed out. Failure to recognize and obey this truth brings forth tremendous error in the belief system, consequently the method of life of numerous people. A couple of classic examples of this that have very far reaching ramifications are:

  • That so many will not obey the commandment of God that teaches the keeping of the Sabbath
  • The failure of so many to admit and practice the fact that the Law of God has never, and does not now allow for equality of headship between men and women
  • That so many will not adorn the sexes distinct fully different, the main one from the other. For to disobey this is an abomination in God's sight: for He created the sexes inside their persons to reflect completely different eternal and heavenly realities
  • Corruptions of the fact that marriage is really a picture of the relationship of Christ and the Believer. The wife (or wives if he's more than one) is owned by the husband, and thus, as Christ owns all Believers the husband would be to mimic Christ in every points of authority and responsibility toward his wife, and the youngsters she brings forth. The girl would be to mimic the appropriate actions of a Believer toward Christ in her actions and attitude toward her husband. To accomplish less than this is to mock the grace of God that calls us to Christ, and to divorce un-scriptually is to practice an abomination. For God hates divorce.

The Psalms Repeatedly Speak Of The Beauty And Purpose Of God's Law

  • Psalms 19:7-9 KJV-What the law states of the Lord is ideal, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is true, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing one's heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

John the Revelator's Wisdom

John testifies to whoever has eyes to see, and ears to hear, that Believers have two signature qualities which meet God's approval.

  • Revelation 12:17 KJV-And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to create war with the remnant of her seed, which keep carefully the commandments of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
  • Revelation 14:12 KJV--Here is the patience of the saints: listed below are they that keep carefully the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus Christ.

The Prophet Isaiah Was Able To Foresee

Isaiah surely could look ahead in the Spirit to a period when the Law of God would fill the earth.

  • Isaiah 42:4 KJV-He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait on His law.

Jeremiah the Prophet Foresaw A Time When God's Law Would Be Written, Not In Tablets Of Stone, But In The Hearts Of Men

  • Jeremiah 31:33 KJV-But this shall be the covenant that I is likely to make with the home of Israel; After those times saith the Lord I'll put my law inside their inward parts and write it inside their hearts, and will undoubtedly be their God, and they shall be my people.

The Prophet Micah Foreseeing The End Times

  • Micah 4:1-2 KJV--But in the last days.....and many nations shall come,.....and he (Christ our Lord) will teach us of His ways, and we shall walk in His paths: for regulations shall go forth of Zion.....

Malachi Speaks Of A Believer's Responsibility In Handling Yahweh's Word

The Old Testament Priest was a picture of a New Testament Minister, who is a minister of the word of the Lord, which the law is apart of. Tax

  • Malachi 2:7 KJV-For the Priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they ought to seek regulations at his mouth; for he's a messenger of the Lord of Hosts.
  • Malachi 4:1&4 KJV-For, behold the day cometh, that shall burn being an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that wickedly, shall be stubble, and the day that cometh shall burn them up.....(who could it be that does wickedly? All those that do not abide in the faith of Jesus and do not keep His commandments) Remember ye regulations of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him at Horeb for all Israel, with the statues and judgments.
