WHY DID GOD GIVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? - Part 2

WHY DID GOD GIVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?

Rom 3:19

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Rom 3:20

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.


Gal 3:10

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Gal 3:11

But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Gal 3:12

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.



Gal 3:22

But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Gal 3:23

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

I find it really hard to understand how satan has so blinded much of the "church" It seems so few understand what is so clear?

Again we know that when we use the law for its purpose, to make all men guilty before God, and bring them to Christ, we have used the law, lawfully.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

And we use it lawfully when we use it like James used it...to reveal whether or not we've been loving our neighbor as ourselves.

YES!!! I am so happy that I can agree with you again on something.

Yes all the law is fulfilled in one word "love" The letter kills but the Spirit gives life.

I think what it is she is pleased that us kids are playing nice for a change...taking turns on the teeter toter, sharing the sand bucket and shovel, not sticking our tongues out at each other, not throwing sand at each other...

Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

It is only when we are set free from the law (Ten Commandments) that we are set free from sins power, for "THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW"

So instead of overcoming sin, growing in obedience, we simply do away with the Law and there is no more sin.

LOL I think you are right about that, Jethro.

Wouldn't it be nice if that were true.

What gave the law the power to keep us in sin was fallen flesh. The law acted like a marital contract that kept us bound in obedience to husband 'flesh'. But in Christ, husband 'flesh' is crucified, thus releasing us from the marital contract of the law that kept us 'married' and bound in obedience to the husband who is now deceased (Romans 7:1-6 NASB).

That is what it means to be set free from the law. Not set free from the requirements of the law. Those continue to be upheld and fulfilled through the new way of the Spirit. What we have been set free from is the law's power to keep us in marital bondage to sin.

Paul is showing that for as much as the law enforces our marital bondage to husband 'flesh', like a lawful marriage contract, so the law also says the power of a marital contract ends when the spouse you're lawfully bound to dies.

Pretty sharp teaching, Paul.

Let's see how long it lasts, lol.

It seems when someone's sand castle gets bigger than someone else's that's when the trouble starts.

No throwing sand

 

[Jethro Bodine]

Re: WHY DID GOD GIVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?

My thought was that if one is living for the spirit, and walking in the spirit...one will naturally keep the law and not sin. So it's not as if one is allowed to sin, but rather just will not as a matter of course.

I think you've nailed it.

"27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws." (Ezekiel 36:27 NASB)

I learn from you brother. Praise the Lord.

16 ...the whole body...grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." (Ephesians 4:16 NIV)

You build me up, brother. Thank you.

 

[Deborah13]

Hmm....
I kinda' feel like the little girl that wants to throw sand at all three of you boys, just to get attention, but alas I can't, good thoughts and scriptures from all of you.

Well I believe the bible, that its grace that overcomes sin, not the ability of man. That its the Spirit of God that works righteousness not the flesh and efforts of man.

Well it is true for those who believe and walk in the spirit. Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherin we were held; that we should serve in the newness of the spirit, and not the oldness of the letter.

The letter kills but the spirit gives life, no man has the ablity to work any righteousness unless Gods grace works it through the Spirit.
