At a young age people are taught that by Christ’s coming, he abolished the Law of the Old Testament. The leaders of churches often use a verse to defend this belief. (Galatians 3:10-11). Without understanding the context, it seems like Apostle Paul is advocating the absence of Law. What did Peter say concerning the things Paul wrote? (2 Peter 3:15-16). Let’s correctly understand what Paul meant when he wrote to the church of God in Galatia.
Paul’s meaning concerning the Law was that we, as imperfect beings, are unable to keep the Law of Moses. If any part of the Law is broken, then the whole Law is broken, and we are to be put to death. It is for this reason Christ came, because through Christ we are able to meet the righteous requirements of the Law. With that understanding, what did Christ say concerning the Law? (Matthew 5:17-18). Christ never abolished the Law and the prophets, he fulfilled them. What does it mean that he fulfilled them? Through his coming he established the New Covenant, or the Law of Christ. Apostle Paul spoke about this Law when writing to the church of God in Corinth. (Corinthians 9:20-21). The writer of Hebrews also spoke about the change of the Law from the Law of Moses to the Law of Christ. (Hebrews 7:12). By keeping Christ’s Law we can be made perfect. Christ showed us through his examples and teachings how to keep the feasts of God according to the New Covenant. For instance, no longer do we bring a lamb to be offered to God at the Passover. Instead, Christ became the Passover Lamb for our salvation. (1 Corinthians 5:7-8). Keeping the New Covenant Passover we become one with Christ. At the Church of God we keep and proclaim this Passover. We follow the teachings of Christ and keep his Law, worshiping in Spirit and truth. We could not have understood these things, however if second coming Christ, Christ Ahnsahnghong did not come again. For this reason, we believe in him and follow him. Christ Ahnsahnghong is our Heavenly Father and true God Almighty, forever praised! Amen.
Did Christ really abolish the Law?
