The Law is not meant to be a matter of contention for believers. It is a powerful tool for leading people to faith in Christ. May the body of Christ be equipped to share God's message in God's way. What does the Bible teach New Testament Christians about the Old Testament Law? 1. The Law is not something that Christians are to argue about. Such arguments are foolish, unprofitable, and worthless. This doesn't mean we can't discuss the Law. Look carefully at what Paul writes: But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a factious man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a man is perverted and is sinning, being self-condemned. (Titus 3:9-11 NASB) Christians are to agree on the purpose of God's Law. We are not to waste time arguing about it. If someone rejects the the purpose of God's Law after a first and second warning then that person is to be reje...

Jesus is awesome. The word awesome gets thrown around for a lot of different things. But it genuinely applies to Jesus. The more we get to know Him, the more awe He inspires. I know that is not really popular for many Christians to study the Old Testament. Especially the book of Leviticus. Yet, the books of Moses are extremely helpful in understanding the awe-inspiring nature of Jesus. Jesus taught that Moses wrote about Him: " You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God? Do not think that I will ac...

Q: Has God's Law passed away and is it irrelevant for Christians today? I often hear the biblical passage, "We're not under law, we're under grace!" tossed around, but I also know that Jesus said the Law would never pass away. What am I missing? A: The more time I spend sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, the more often questions like this one come up. Certainly, many different views about God's Law are available. So what does the Bible have to say about it? First, and perhaps most importantly, the Bible is clear that the Law is not something that Christians are supposed to argue about. Such arguments are foolish, unprofitable, and worthless according to Titus 3:9. Some think that this passage means that we should not even discuss the Law. But this is not what Paul was expressing. Look carefully at what Paul writes: But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and strife and disputes about the Law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. Reject a ...
