LOVE FULFILLS THE LAW
Kabuin Joshua from Cameroon, Africa asked me to teach about Matthew 5:17-20. So here is what I believe Jesus was telling us.
The Old Testament is God giving mankind a way to live through laws and commandments and rules for them to learn FAITH IN GOD! But all of these and prophecies were about the salvation that Jesus brought to the world. And the personal relationship with God living in us and we become a temple for Him to live in. Through Jesus Christ coming to the world as a man. BUT STILL GOD
As you read the 10 commandments, it is about loving The Lord Your God FIRST, BEGINNING OF FAITH, then how to live for him in your faith, then how to treat others with love!❤️!
SO Jesus came and did not do away with the Law, BUT he is the fulfillment of the law. BUT now the law has a personal relationship with GOD, through Jesus and salvation and the Holy Spirit living in us and guiding us. The laws are fulfilled through LOVE.
Verse 19 has an important guideline for each of us, WE ARE NOT FOLLOWING CHRIST FOR MAN’s applause! We are not working for our glory! We work for the Lord for HIS Glory!
But whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called GREAT in the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN”.
Verse 20 sums up the condition of the church today! “Unless your righteousness surpasses that which of the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of Heaven “.
The church has established is own version of Christianity that wants to make us important, elevate our egos and push Jesus to the side……. YOU do not have to give the Lord all of you, you don’t have to submit to the Lord! You do as the man made church says under their commands.
People are professing faith but never were born into a NEW creature, “the old is gone and the new is here”. They are missing the joy peace and completeness in Christ.
