Principle of Bible Study

A text, without a context, is a pretext. Careful study reveals that the broader context of Jesus’ life was very supportive of the moral law. (Luke 18:20; Matthew 19:17-19; Matthew 5:19, 27, 28; Mark 10:11, 12)

Review

God is love (1 John 4:8). All law & prophecy rests on love (Matthew 22:37-39) God and His law are eternal (Psalm 111:7, 8) God spoke His moral law (Deuteronomy 4:33) God’s moral law cannot be changed (Matthew 5:18) That law is still binding for Christians (John 15:14).

“God is love,” and all that God does is motivated by love!

Some Christians believe that Jesus did away with the law. But Jesus said just the opposite. He said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”

Matthew 5:17; Matthew 3:15; John 15:10 quoted at worksheet 4, 13

By His Holy Spirit, it is also God’s intention that “the righteous- ness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Romans 8:35

Jesus told the lawyer that the two greatest commandments in the law are: 1) “Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,” and 2) “love thy neighbor as thyself.” For “on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matthew 22:36-409, 10, 11, 12). Here Jesus reveals that the reason for God’s law is love. To dis- miss God’s law is to dismiss His love that inspired it.

The “book of the law” concerning sacrifices, which was written by Moses, was to be a “witness against” the people until the real Lamb of God (Jesus) would die and take it out of the way.
