Law of Christ

5 Replies

Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

Here the Apostle Paul talks about the “Law of Christ”, this is not the same as the “Law of Moses” that was given down at Mt Sinai. Remember Jesus fulfilled the Old Law on the cross when he said “It Is Finished”, anyone who is now in Christ is living by the Law of Christ which is Grace.  So what is the Law of Christ?

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. Galatians 6:7

The legalist mocks the Law of Christ, saying this is a license to sin. However as Paul states God is not mocked. Whatever you sow you will reap. Meaning you live a life of sin you are going to reap a life of death and destruction.

The morality of the Law has not changed, Sin is Lawlessness. When you live in sin your actions don’t love God or your Neighbor which is the fulfillment of The Law

And He said to him, “‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ “On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:38-40

Jesus laid out what the Law of Christ is, Love God and Love your Neighbor. This is the fulfillment of The Law. When you study the Mosaic Law, you will find a pattern. Every commandment is about loving God or your Neighbor.

Therefor Bear each other’s burdens and worship God with all your heart, mind and soul. This is the fulfillment of The Law of Christ Amen!

Nothing Is Impossible

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?” Jeremiah 32:27

Jeremiah was in prison, and Jerusalem was being taken over by Babylon, yet Jeremiah kept prophesying that Israel would be free again. Not only did he keep prophesying this, he purchased a piece of land because he knew that God would free Israel again

Jeremiahs persistent prophecy obviously angered the King of Babylon and had Jeremiah locked away so nobody can hear or see him.

Jeremiah said a prayer of praise to God saying nothing is impossible for him (Jeremiah 32:17) God answered back to Jeremiah and confirmed to him, Nothing is impossible for God, and God told Jeremiah exactly how he was going to redeem Israel

I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me. Jeremiah 32:40

God declares he will make a “new covenant” an everlasting covenant where God will write the law on our hearts. This is the new covenant that was fulfilled through Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit has written the Law in our hearts and minds.

And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

How can God save the world with the life of one man? Nothing is impossible to God! How can God bring his son into our human realm? Nothing is impossible to God! How can God give us a new heart and fill us with the Holy Spirit? Nothing is Impossible for God! Amen!

Freedom of Christ

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Many people, even today, are trying to set themselves free. They believe if they do enough “good works” or follow enough rules, they will be justified before God. This is a false misconception and doctrine many are blindly following

Nobody can be saved except through Jesus Christ. Its that simple, many want to believe they can work out their own salvation, its not possible. The wages of sin are death, the only way you can break free from that yoke is by the blood of Jesus Christ

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Galatians 5:4

Paul warns those who try to justify themselves by The Law have fallen from Grace. This is a strong warning from Paul, why? Because when your putting more faith in your own works rather than the works of Christ, you are denying Christ.

Nobody is justified before God without the blood of Christ, nobody!

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love. Galatians 5:6

Circumcision (Works of the Law) have no value without Faith in Jesus Christ as your salvation. Without true Faith in Jesus, your wasting your time, you need to become circumcised at the heart (spiritual) repent and become Born Again!

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

There is only one way to true Freedom and that’s through Jesus Christ. People try to generate their own freedoms, but are just temporary and leave you in bondage. The Son of God has set your Free, by Faith you have been saved, Amen!

New Covenant

“Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, Jeremiah 31:31

Ever since the “Old Covenant” God has promised to deliver a “New Covenant”. In order for God to create a New Covenant he needs to fulfill or complete the Old Covenant.

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. Matthew 5:17

Jesus fulfilled the Old Covenant, he needed to fulfill the Old Covenant in order for there to be a New Covenant.

not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 31:32

Notice God says this “New Covenant” is not going to be like the “Old Covenant” As it says “My covenant which they broke”. Time after time Israel broke the vows of the Old Covenant with God by practicing idolatry with false gods and practicing immorality

“But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the LORD, “I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Jeremiah 31:33

So will say “How can we live morally if we are no longer under the law”? God says he will put his law in our hearts. Meaning through Christ we become baptized by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives inside us to sanctify us and convict us of our sins.

And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood. Luke 22:20

Jesus declared by the shedding of his blood, the New Covenant has been established. Come to Jesus and be set free from sin and death Amen!
