Bei Matthäus 5:17, it is written that Jesus didn’t come to earth to destroy the law, but Jesus came to fulfill the law. Although many people in the Old Covenant considered the law burdensome, Jesus knew the secret of the law. Jesus knew what the law of God was all about. Jesus knew the meaning of the law and what the law represented. That’s because Jesus came from another Kingdom and lived in another Kingdom than the kingdom of this world. Although Jesus lived in this world, Jesus gehörte nicht zu dieser Welt. Jesus belonged to the Kingdom of God and came to earth to represent, preach and bring the Kingdom of God to this world. What is the secret of the law of God?
Christians are looking for answers, while God has already given the answer
There are many discussions and debates going on in the Church about the issues of life. Viele Christen, including leaders of the Church, have questions about certain issues and spend a lot of time searching for answers. But what many of them don’t know is that God has already given them the answer in the Bible.
Jedoch, the problem is that many Christians don’t want to hear the answer to their questions, because the answer of God is not according to their will or in their favor. daher, they close their eyes and shut their ears for the truth of God.
Some questions are: may a Christian have sex before marriage? May a Christian live together (unmarried)? May a Christian marry an unbeliever? May a Christian get a divorce? Can/may a Christian be gay? Does God approve of homosexuality? May a Christian have a gender change operation? May a Christian abort babies? Or support abortion? May a Christian get a tattoo? May a Christian pierce his or her body? May a Christian practice yoga? May a Christian practice martial arts? May a Christian practice reiki? May a Christian have acupuncture? May a Christian have foreign statues or masks (d.h. buddha statues, Asian, African, South American statues or masks) in home? May a Christian go clubbing or visit (lounge) bars? May a Christian drink? May a Christian smoke? May a Christian watch horror movies? May a Christian….. and so forth.
All these questions are related to the flesh and the answers to these questions are given to us in the Bible; das Wort.
Was sagt die Bibel??
Das Wort; Jesus answers all these questions. But if the Bible is clear about it and provides the answers, then why are there so many discussions and debates going on in the Church? Also, the reason is that many Christians don’t want to submit to God and hear and listen to the answer that the Word gives.
While the Word is clear, many Christians keep searching in the Bible for scriptures that will approve the carnal works, which derive from the will, Begierden und Begierden des Fleisches. So that they can keep living after their own will and lusts and desires of the flesh and keep doing the same things as the world.
They take the words out of the context and change the words of God, so that they won’t have to change and can do what they want to do and keep serving the spirits of this world, who operate in the flesh.
They think that they are free in Jesus Christ and that they live in freedom by accepting all things under the denominator of ‘walking in love’ und "the grace of God'. But the truth and reality is, that they live in darkness in the bondage of sin and death. They are blinded to the truth of God and keep believing the lies of the devil.
What does the Bible say about the Law of God?
Warum, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Römer 5:12-14)
When Adam and Eve sinned sin entered the world. The law didn’t change anything. Sin didn’t enter the world, when God gave His commandments to Moses. The spiritual realm was the same before the law as after the law.
The only thing that God did was, that He gave the law to His carnal people to reveal His will and His Kingdom and the spiritual realm. So that God could have a relationship with His people.
Because the people were carnal and God is Spirit and the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh, and are contrary against each other, sin was made known through the law (Galater 5:17, Römer 7:7).
The spirit of man was dead. Deswegen, they were unspiritual and unable to walk after the spirit.
Therefore God made His will known to His carnal people, to keep them in His love and guide them in love. So that they could have a relationship and His people would be free and stay free from every oppression and bondage of the devil and his kingdom.
As long as they feared God, yielded themselves to God and kept the law, they served God and walked in His will and the devil could not touch them.
But as soon as they went their own way and left God by becoming disobedient to God’s law, which represented God’s will, they came into the bondage of the devil and death.
Nowadays the law of God, which is written in the Old Testament, is seen as outdated dusty rules and many people are horrified by all of these rules. They want to be free and do whatever they want to do. Sie wollen ihr eigenes Leben leben, doing their own will, without someone telling them what to do.
Rebellion against the law of God
The devil was rebellious and didn’t submit himself to God and didn’t want to obey Him. He was rebellious. The unregenerate man has the nature of the devil and therefore the unregenerate man doesn’t want to submit to God and obey His commandments either. The old creations are sons and daughters of the devil and are sinners, who rebel against every word and every commandment that comes from God, including the moral commandments of God, which are written in the law.
They are horrified by God’s commandments. Because it means, that they cannot walk after their own will and after their carnal lust and desires and live like the world, but it means they have to die to ‘self’.
They consider the commandments as a deprivation of their liberty. Aber die Wahrheit ist, that if they turn away from the Word and His commandments and don’t listen to Him, they automatically come in the bondage of the devil.
Der old creations and the carnal believers, who walk after the flesh consider the Gebote Gottes as a set of religious and annoying rules, that keep them from being free. But die neuen Kreationen consider the commandments of God as precious warnings and guidance for their lives. They consider the commandments of God, to come from a loving Father, Who wants to have a relationship with His children and wants to guide them into all truth and raise them up so that they will spiritually mature. He wants to reveal His Kingdom and His will to His children.
Jesus fulfilled the Law
Do not begin to suppose that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfil (Matthew 5:17)
Jesus came to fulfill the Law and not to destroy the Law. He endured many Versuchungen, but He never left the commandments of His Father (das Gesetz). He never walked after His own will and after the lusts and desires of His flesh, but He stayed obedient to the Father and walked after the will of the Father.
Jesus loved God the Father with all His heart, Seele, Leistung, and mind and therefore He wanted to please and glorify the Father. Ja, Jesus gave up His own life for His Father, because He knew how much God loves people.
Because of His great love for His Father, He stayed obedient to His Father, to His commandments, and His will.
Jesus didn’t bow to the temptations and seductions of the devil and his demons; die Geister dieser Welt, but He ruled over them (Lesen Sie auch: ‘Ich werde euch die Reichtümer der Welt geben!).
The Law revealed the will of God
The law revealedGThod’s will; His heart, to His carnal people, who walked after the flesh. Through the law, God made Himself known to His people. Jesus walked in the will of His Father, He kept all the commandments of His Father. Therefore He walked in love, in the Law.
Jesus even added commandments to the Law and expanded the Law. He made the commandments harder for the carnal people, who walked after the flesh.
But Jesus knew, that the new creations, diecrucified their flesh in Him and were risen from the dead, durch die Kraft des Heiligen Geistes, would have the same Spirit of God. Therefore they would also be able to fulfill the expanded Law of God in their lives on earth.
Jesus is our Example. He showed us how to walk as new creations. He was the Firstborn of the new creation (Rom 8:29, Col 1:18, Rev 1:5). Jesus fulfilled the law by walking in the will and commandments of His Father.
When you become a new creatioN, you will have His nature and you will also be able to fulfill the law in your life.
As long as you stay in Him; das Wort, and you live after the Spirit and do what pleases Him, you will live after His will and you shall fulfill the law or as is written in Romans 3:31, you shall establish the law.
Do we then make void the law through faith? Gott bewahre es: Ja, we establish the law (Römer 3:31)
But it all depends upon one thing and that is, are you truly prepared to lay down your own life for Jesus Christ? Are you willing to give up your will, your desires, your lusts, Träume, Meinungen, Gefühle, Emotionen, your …….? Are you willing tocrucify your flesh?
Walking as a son of God
When the new creation walks after the Spirit, als Sohn Gottes (this applies to both male and female), then (S)he will not listen and give any attention to the flesh, because the flesh is crucified and is death. Every son of God ought to walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. The sons of God shall not be led and dictated by their senses, Gefühle, Emotionen, Wille, Begierden, Wünsche, usw.
The Word reigns in their lives and therefore they walk after the Spirit and the Word and therefore the sons of God walk in God’s will after His commandments (Lesen Sie auch: ‘Was sind die Merkmale eines Sohnes Gottes??).
The new creation is no longer a sinner. Because the new creation has bereute of his/her life as a sinner and repented of the former things. The new creation willschieb den alten Mann ab, who lived after the flesh as a sinner, and by faith in Jesus ChristZieh den neuen Mann an, who is born of the Spirit and live after the Word and the Spirit (Lesen Sie auch: ‘Bleibst du immer ein Sünder??„).
Was ist das Geheimnis des Gesetzes??
Die neue Schöpfung, der dem Geist nachgeht, doesn’t need the written law anymore. Because the secret of the Law is, that by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the law of God (die Gebote Gottes) is written in the heart of the new creation. Therefore the new creation will automatically walk in His commandments, doing His will and therefore fulfilling His law.
If you love God with all of your heart, Geist, Seele, Leistung, you shall do His will, because you want to please Him.
The Word of God came to the prophet Jeremiah and said:
Aber dies soll der Bund sein, den ich mit dem Haus Israel schließen werde; Nach diesen Tagen, spricht der Herr, Ich werde mein Gesetz in ihr Inneres legen, und schreibe es in ihre Herzen; und wird ihr Gott sein, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, und jeder sein Bruder, Sprichwort, Erkenne den Herrn: denn sie werden mich alle kennen, vom Geringsten bis zum Größten unter ihnen, spricht der Herr: denn ich werde ihre Missetat vergeben, und ich werde mich nicht mehr an ihre Sünde erinnern (Jeremia 31:33-34)
The Holy Spirit shall say and do what the Word says and shall never contradict the Word. Therefore the Holy Spirit shall never turn against the commandments of God, which are given in the Old Testament.
The law warned the carnal people of God, who lived after the flesh, to not walk as the Gentiles (die Welt), but to turn away from their religions, practices, and habits.
God set apart His people
God didn’t want His people to walk like the world; like the sons and daughters of the devil. This not only applies to His carnal people; the Jews, but it also applies to His spiritual people, who are born of God and have become eine neue Schöpfung durch Jesus Christus.
God gave the promise of the new creation to His people. He promised them the neue Kreation, who would be born of the Spirit of God. The new creation would be a son of God and co-heir of Jesus Christ, Und reign with Him over every principality, Macht, authority, and power of the darkness.
He has given His power; His authority to the new creations of God, who are the Church; der Leib Christi.
A New Covenant
The covenant is renewed, which means that the Old Covenant isn’t legal anymore. Because before the New Covenant in Jesus Christ came, the carnal people of Israel were justified by their works; indem man das Gesetz hält, including all the feasts, Opfer, and rituals. But that is no longer the case. Der einzige Weg to be saved and become justified and righteous is by faith in Jesus Christ; by His blood and by becoming born again in the spirit.
But that doesn’t mean that the will of God has changed!
God is the same Yesterday, Heute, und für immer! That means God’s commandments, which represent God’s will also stay the same.
Der einzige Unterschied besteht darin,, that God has written His law; His will upon your heart, because the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you.
The same Holy Spirit that dwelled in Jesus Christ and Who answered all the questions to the people about the issues of life, dwells inside of you. Therefore He shall answer your questions, through the Word.
But the thing is: “will you listen to Him, and obey Him?”
When He speaks, and when He answers it will always be in line with the commandments of God (Gottes Wille), and His Word. He will never contradict the Word of God.
The secret is, that a new creation doesn’t have questions regarding the flesh, because the flesh doesn’t live anymore,
The new creation walks after the Spirit and discerns what is carnal and what is Spirit; what is evil and what is good. The new creation shall walk in the law of the Spirit, the law of Jesus Christ, which is the law of God, including the commandments of Jesus). The Holy Spirit shall lead the new creation into all truth.
Questions about the issues of life
If you have questions concerning the issues of life, that have to do with the flesh, you shall find all the answers in the Old Testament and the four gospels (because God gave His commandments to His people, who walked after the flesh). The apostles Paul, Peter, John, James, usw. referred to the Old Testament. Therefore it proves that the commandments of God are still valid for the new creation.
Bedauerlicherweise, many Christians today, live in a false theology and have been taught false doctrines, that tell them that the commandments of God, which are written in the Old Testament, are outdated and dissolved in Jesus Christ. Therefore the commandments of God are no longer applicable to today’s Christians and to this era. But that’s one of the biggest lies!
Of course, we no longer have to keep the feasts, Rituale, food laws, and sacrificial offerings of the Old Covenant, because they applied to the old creation; Der alte Mann, and were an allusion to Jesus Christ, Sein Opfer, and the New Covenant in Him.
But God’s commandments, which represent His will are still valid. Because His Kingdom is still the same. Jesus sagte, that He didn’t come to destroy the law, but to fulfill the law.
If we look at all the questions, I mentioned at the beginning of this article, you already know deep down inside of you the answers. And you know what is striking? That the answers to all the questions are the same.
Justified by faith in Jesus Christ and not by the works of the Law
Let me be clear, you are not justified by keeping the works of the Law, but you are justified by faith in Jesus Christ; by His blood and His redemptive work. But as a new creation, you have received the Holy Spirit, Who lives inside of you and therefore you shall automatically walk in His Law; in Seinem Willen, doing His commandments, which are written in your heart. As long as you abide in Him and walk in His will, doing His commandments, you shall do the works of righteousness.
What doth it profit, meine Brüder, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him.Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone (James 2:14,17)
By the habitation of the Holy Spirit and by deinen Geist erneuern mit dem Wort Gottes, you shall gain knowledge and get understanding in the spiritual realm, which is behind the natural realm.
The more you seek the things which are above and not on the earth and die to the flesh, the more the Kingdom of God becomes visible to you. When the Kingdom of God becomes visible to you, you shall be able to represent, preach and establish His Kingdom upon this earth.
Here is the patience of the saints:here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus (Offenbarung 14:12)
“Sei das Salz der Erde”
