THE MYSTERY OF THE LAW UNVEILED
When God chose the Jews, he
separated them from the rest of the whole world, consecrating them holy aloe
unto him, this law separated the Jews from the gentiles thereby condemning the
gentiles who couldn't follow the law nor know about it, therefore were not
qualified to be under the law. The gentiles were not under the curse of the
law, which says "cursed is anyone who does not to do according to all that
is written in the law". (Gal 3:10, Deut. 27:26, Jer 11:3).
During the pre-law times i.e.
from Adam to Moses, there was no law then, therefore their sin wasn't imputed
onto them, but yet they died, cause the sin of Adam brought in death, but death
still could not easily kill them then. (Rom 5:13)
Now the law was introduced as
the governance of everlasting life i.e. the ruling authority to live forever,
because man was created to live forever, and since Adam introduced death
through disobedience, death reigned from Adam to Moses. This gave the Jews the
advantage of everlasting life, if they could only obey the law completely
without breaking one rule, they will have everlasting life. Unfortunately, even
them could not obey so they too were condemned and even cursed. But at least
they had a little experience with God, and had a little communion with him as
the law caused God to respond to them. They were dying, perishing, trying to
obey the law, to attain at least a level of righteousness or perfection, but to
no avail, no matter how they tried. The law even reduced further the normal 120
years that God gave man to reach to 70 - 80 years. God hates death and hated
how the man he created for his pleasure was destroyed and how they were so
corrupted beyond repair. It pained him that they were so distorted from his
perfection. He so longed to restore man and save man, that he began his age
long plan.
Jesus came not just to die for
sins, he came to tackle the main problem, the Law of Moses. His death ended the
reign of the Law. Jesus said that "except every words of the law has been
fulfilled, not one single word of the law will fall to ground void". Since
he fulfilled the law and the prophets, the law was abolished. His resurrection
introduced a new law, the Law of Life or also the Law of Grace/Love (Rom
8:2, Eph 2:14). There is no system without a law governing it, else it
will be chaos and destruction (says the Holy Spirit). Now whoever, follows the
law of life whether Jew or Gentile has life eternal. (Jn 3:16, Gal 3:25-29).
This law of grace is a law tht operates from the inside of man. It first
transforms the man's spirit then through by laws, brings out its effect on the
man's physical world. Its a law that metamorphises a man. Examples of these by
laws are Law of faith, prosperity, success, giving, love etc. They govern the
operation of the law of life in the aion (ages, course of events, world) of an
individual or group.
With the removal of the old law of
moses, the gentiles are also free of the condemnation along with the Jews. (Col
2:14).
Now everyone can enjoy the law of
grace and live forever. I will give the proof that we can live forever in my
next blog titled THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN. Its important that we know
what the Holy Spirit has given us, so we can reign in life just as Rom 5:17
says. See you then. Any questions, you can comment here
