WHAT IS GOD’S LAW & 2. WHAT PARTS ARE STILL BINDING ON NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS: NONE, SOME OR ALL?
To answer the first question we need to define God’s Law.
As we open to Matthew 5:17-48 today we are about to hear the final, and ultimate voice in any discussion of the Law. Our goal is simple. What was Jesus explanation of the Law?
Jesus as God speaking in Matthew 5 is the One who spoke and everything that exists in this Universe began.
Jesus as God the Son is the same one who instituted the 7th Day at Creation.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath that was written down on tablets of stone as the 4th Commandment.
So the best answer possible on what is the Law and what should it mean to us today comes from Jesus. To set the stage for our reading, Jesus is preaching His first sermon. We call it the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew opens with this sermon and it is all about God’s Law.
WHAT IS GOD’S LAW?
God’s Law is His Word. God’s Law is not merely the 10 Commandments, the Books of Moses, or even the Prophets. Jesus puts them all into one whole that He calls the Scriptures.
So Jesus launches into a lesson on God’s law. God did not give a set of rules to conform to in outward obedience.
God asks for an internal transformation that is humanly impossible. A change that can’t be earned by trying hard, or by keeping rules. A heart that loves to do God’s will in His Law is only a new heart that God graciously gives to all who believe that they are hopelessly sinful, unable to ever be good enough, and cry out to God for His mercy.
Those that heard Him were shocked. They had been taught a religion of just external rules that could be kept.
They heard Jesus point out the error of their mere outward behavior.
They were focused on externals, and Jesus was focused on internals.
Listen as you follow along and I read for Christ's six times repeated phrase: “you have heard it said”. Jesus is contrasting their misunderstanding of God’s Law with His perfect explanation.
