Итак, никто да не судит вас за мясо, или в пьяном виде, или в честь праздника, или новолуния, или субботних дней: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ (Колоссянам 2:16-17)
Jesus Christ has disarmed the authority of the principalities and powers of the kingdom of darkness, who rule over fallen mankind. Jesus has spoiled principalities and powers and made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them when Jesus became the Substitute for fallen mankind and carried the sins of mankind upon Himself and became a curse at the cross, whereby Jesus entered Hades (ад) and rose as Victor from the dead and ascended on high and took place on the throne at the right hand of the Father.
The new man is justified in Jesus Christ and lives in the New Covenant
The sins, which separated man from God and reigns together with the death in the flesh, took Jesus upon Himself and carried in His flesh. The blood of Jesus Christ made atonement for the sins and iniquities of everyone, who by faith in Christ would be born again in Him and become a new creation.
The new man doesn’t live in the Old covenant, where the law of sin and death reigns in the flesh. Но новый человек, who has died to the flesh and whose spirit is raised from the dead, lives in the New Covenant, where the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus reigns
The new man is led by the Spirit instead of the flesh and doesn’t need all kinds of ordinances, жертвы, rituals to satisfy the flesh and be justified and be saved.
The new man is justified by the blood of Jesus Christ and His redemptive work and not by the law. The flesh in which the law of sin and death reigns, has died in Christ.
Пока новый человек остается во Христе, the new man remains saved (Читайте также: 'Однажды сохраненный всегда сохраняется?')
The law of Moses, закон греха и смерти, whereby those, который принадлежал к народу Божьему (Израиль), можно было бы спасти, no longer applies in the New Covenant, since the law of sin and death was meant for (the state of) the old man and his sinful flesh.
The only part of the law which still applies in the New Covenant is the will of God. The moral part of the law, what God considers good and what God considers evil, праведность, и грех, which God has made known through His commandments shall always apply, since they already applied before the coming of the law of Moses. The law of God and righteousness and sin already existed before the law (Читайте также: ‘Did sin come by the law or did sin already exist before the law?')
But all the ordinances, holy days (пиры), Законы о жертвоприношениях, законы о еде, drinking laws, ритуалы, и т. д.. that were related to the flesh, for the satisfaction of the flesh, atonement, and salvation of the flesh, are no longer applicable, since the flesh has died in Christ.
Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink, или в честь праздника, или новолуния, или субботних дней
Итак, никто да не судит вас за мясо, или в пьяном виде, или в честь праздника, или новолуния, или субботних дней: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ (Колоссянам 2:16-17)
Paul warned the saints to stay in Christ and to let no man judge them in meat and in drink, или в честь праздника (feast), new moon, or the sabbath days, that were part of the Old Covenant and were meant for God’s carnal people, who belonged to the generation of the old creation, since they were just a shadow of things to come and pointed to Jesus Christ (Ой. иврит 8 и 10).
Paul wanted to prevent them from returning to the flesh and to the Old Covenant and becoming subject again to the rudiments of this world.
The old man was unspiritual and was separated from God and in his fallen state and with his fallen nature the old man needed precepts, Законы о жертвоприношениях, законы о еде, пиры (holy days), and rituals to separate themselves from the world and walk holy and righteous in the will of God.
Because of the weakness of the flesh, обладающий греховной природой, man was not able to fulfill the law of God, since the carnal mind is enmity against God because it’s not subject to God and His will. Therefore the flesh had to be dealt with. And God dealt with the flesh problem by sending His Son Jesus Christ in the flesh and by His redemptive work.
Но новый человек, who is no longer carnal but spiritual and has been made whole (исцелённый) and has God’s nature and possesses the Holy Spirit, knows the will of God because it is written upon the heart of flesh of the new man. As long as the new man walks in Christ after the Spirit, the new man lives in the will of God.
The Body is of Christ
Не думайте, что я пришел нарушить закон, или пророки: Я пришел не разрушать, но выполнить. Ибо истинно говорю вам, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. Ибо я говорю тебе, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (Мэтью 5:17-20)
Итак, нет теперь никакого осуждения тем, кто во Христе Иисусе., которые ходят не по плоти, но после Духа. Ибо закон духа жизни во Христе Иисусе освободил меня от закона греха и смерти.. За то, что закон не мог сделать, в том, что он был слаб плотью, Бог посылает Своего Сына в подобии греховной плоти, и за грех, осудил грех во плоти: Чтобы праведность закона исполнилась в нас, которые ходят не по плоти, но после Духа (римляне 8:1-4)
Jesus didn’t come to destroy the law, а чтобы исполнить закон, since the law represented the nature and will of God. Therefore Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and those, who are born again in Him and belong to His Body, храм, и Иисус Христос, Мессия, Первосвященник, и Кинг, have been made free from the law of sin and death by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and by walking after the Spirit, they shall fulfill the righteousness of the law, точно так же, как Иисус.
