Are we still under the Law? a brief look

We are under Law of old and more… In the Sermon on the Mount Christ makes it even harder, we are called to be perfect not just in deed but in thought.

 

This is the lack of sound teaching in the congregations today in America. We’ve removed the teachings of the Law and what is stated in the Bible as right and wrong (The Law). Instead we have completely made the Law look like the Gospel and in the end we have neither. All around in books and sermons, ect we see the misrepresentation of the Law and Gospel, often preachers are confusing the two. Or worse preaching one and not the other or preaching one over the other.

 

We are called to handle the Word of God properly. So let us define both Law and Gospel:

Law = everything that God commands.

Gospel = everything that God gives.

 

What He gives in the Gospel is everything He commands in the Law. When you need to know what you need to do, you go to the Law. But when you hear the law threaten you, you need to set the Law aside and plea to Christ.

Law is in Old Testament and New Testament as well as gospel in Old Testament and New Testament.
