Can't you see that what you are describing here is the difference between the WAY of the old covenant,
19 What purpose then does the law serve? It was
added because of transgressions,
till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Galatians 3:19
Can't you see that by saying
added, the Holy Spirit is indicating that the law was a part of something greater?
Can't you see that by saying
till, the Holy Spirit is indicating the law was temporary?
The Old way is obeying God's Voice.
5 because Abraham
obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."
Genesis 26:5
and again -
8 By faith
Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.
Hebrews 11:8
The New Way is obeying God's Voice.
26 but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for
obedience to the faith--
Romans 16:26
and again -
16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or
of obedience leading to righteousness? Romans 6:16
To believe means to obey.
Look at this verse with me -
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of
disobedience.
Hebrews 4:6 NKJV
6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein , and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of
unbelief: Hebrews 4:6 KJV
