TEN
COMMANDMENTS
Many people think that Christians are under the Ten Commandments, the Law. In the following articles, I will try to correct this falsehood. In the Old testament, there are many Laws! 613 of them! And IF a person wants to live by the Law, . . . well . . . it simply cannot be done! Only our precious Lord Jesus ever kept ALL the Laws! Only He fulfilled them all. When we believe God and trust in Jesus, God the Father applies Jesus' righteousness to us. 1 Cor. 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: (KJV) . . . We have absolutely NO righteousness on our own. Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (KJV) . . . Away to hell my friend, without Jesus!
We cannot keep the Law, and IF we break one Law, we break them all and are cursed!
Deut.
5:31 But as for thee, stand
thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee
all the commandments, and the statutes,
and the judgments, which thou shalt teach
them, that they may do them in the land
which I give them to possess it. [KJV] . . . And IF a person does not keep ALL the laws
of God, they are "cursed."
Deut.
27:26 Cursed be he that confirmeth
not all the words of this law to do them.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
[KJV] . . . ALL the words of the law!
Galatians
3:10 For as many as are of the
works of the law are under the curse: for
it is written, Cursed is every one that
continueth not in all things which are written
in the book of the law to do them. [KJV] . . . ALL things written in the book of
law!
The
Law is like a chain. If
one link is broken, the whole chain is broken,
NONE of us can ever keep the Law! IF we
break one law, we have broken them all,
and then we are "cursed."
We as the Body of Christ (the TRUE church),
are not under the Law, we are under grace. Praise God!
Romans
6:14 For sin shall not have
dominion over you: for ye are not under
the law, but under grace. [KJV] . . . We as
believers, trust and accept what Jesus did
for us on the cross. We are under a much better covenant! GRACE . . . Not the Law!
Romans
10:4 For Christ is the end of
the law for righteousness to every one that
believeth. [KJV] . . . Christ fulfilled the
Law for us, and when we believe God, and
trust and accept Jesus and His Work on the
cross, the Father applies the righteousness
of Christ to us.
