Literal Law- External

Written in the two tablet of stone

Spiritual Law- Internal

(Must be) Written in our Heart

We are not Under the law !!! Yet We are NOW Under the Law!


There are approximately 280 million people in the United States. In a

recent survey it was found that less than 1 percent of adults and teenagers

could name all of The Ten Commandments! (The Ten Commandments Project)

And in the Philippines, it is a sad reality. Our country, being called as the

only Christian country in Asia, the Ten Commandments were not written in

the hearts (and in the minds) of the vast majority of professing Christians.

Transgressions of the Law are rampant in the streets, homes, schools,

places of work and particularly in the government and even in the Church!

The Bible said, The law written in their heartsRom 2:15

But the reality is, almost every people (including those persons professing

Christians) could not name all of the Ten Commandments!


The Church Ignores the Law!

This Shouldnt Be!!!

Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets;Ihave not come to abolish thembut to fulfill them. (Mat 5:17)

I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not thesmallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any meansdisappearfrom the Law until everything is accomplished. (Mat 5:18)

Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments andteaches others to do the same will be called leastin the kingdom ofheaven, but whoeverpractices and teaches these commands will becalled greatin the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:19)

For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of thePharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter thekingdom of heaven (Mat 5:20)

(Duty to God)

Love your neighbor as yourself

Matt 22:39

We can perform our duty to God (the 1st to the 4th commandment) through love by not rejoicing with sin. Sin is hatred toward God.

We can perform our duty to our neighbors (the 5 th to the 10th commandment) through love by being always patient and kind to them,

by not envious on them, by not being boastful (a form of lying), by not becoming rude to them, by not becoming selfish, and by not

being happy with evil.

Law of LoveJohn 13:34

Law of ChristGal 6:2

Law of GodDeut 5:7-21

Love of God

1 John 2:4; 5:3

Law and Love are Inseparable 1 Cor 13:4-6

We are not under the (literal) Law

We are under the (Spiritual) Law

We must surpass both Law (literal & Spiritual)

By surpass ing both Law, we put ourselves under

the Law of Christ which is the Law of Love

The Law of God, which is the Ten Commandments

given to Moses, can be sum up one and the same

with the Law of Christ which is the Law of Love.

By keeping the Ten Commandments, we love God

and we have the Love of God

Hence, We are still under the Law

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for hethat loveth another hath fulfilled the law. (Rom 13:8)

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shaltnot kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear falsewitness, Thou shalt not covet; and ifthere be any othercommandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying,namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Rom13:9)

Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love isthe fulfilling of the law. (Rom 13:10)


Who or what is God?

According to 1 John 4:8, God is Love

What is Love?

According to 1 Cor 13:4-6, Love is always patient, Love is always kind, Love

is never envious Or vaunted up with pride. Nor is she conceited, And never is

she rude, Never does she think of self Or ever get annoyed. She never is

resentful, Is never glad with sin, But always glad to side with truth, Whene'er

the truth should win.

Therefore, the above scriptures are the perfect description of who God is and a

perfect portrait of the Love of God.

God delights in his law!

Prov 8:22-30; John 1:1-3



8/12

Therefore the Law isstill binding, has agreat

relevance until today and it is thestandardof

our Christian living because the Law is all

about Love and Love is all about the Law.

Therefore, We are under the Law! Under the

Law of Love! The Law, which is the Ten

Commandments, is actually the Ten

Commandments of Love.


By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep

his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep hiscommandments: and his commandments are not grievous. (1Jn 5:2,3)

The one and only excellent way and exact way for us to have the Love

of God and manifest that kind of love is through the Law!

There is no other way except (surpass) the Law!

But eagerly desire the greater gifts.

And now I will show you the most excellent way.

1 Cor 12:31NIV

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of

these is love. 1 Cor 13:13 NIV

Follow the way of (surpassing the Law) love 1 Cor 14:1 NIV

The Love of God is the greatest gift we can possess. We can have it

now, because it is already given by God through His Son. And we can

manifest the love of God through the Ten Commandments which the

Lord Jesus did not abolished.

"We must not imagine that the coming of Christ has freed us from the authority of the law: for it is the eternal

rule of a devout and holy life, and must, therefore, be as unchangeable, as the justice of God, which it embraced,

is constant and uniform." John Calvin

"The moral law contained in the Ten Commandments, and enforced by the prophets, He (Christ) did not take

away. It was not the design of His coming to revoke any part of this. This is a law which never can be

broken...Every part of this law must remain in force upon all mankind and in all ages; as not depending either on

time or place, or any other circumstances liable to change, but on the nature of God and the nature of man, and

their unchangeable relation to each other. John Wesley

"The law of God is a divine law, holy, heavenly, perfect. Those who find fault with the law, or in the least degree

depreciate it, do not understand its design, and have no right idea of the law itselfNo human lawgiver could

have given forth such a law as that which we find in the decalogue. It is a perfect law." C.H. Spurgeon

In order to our happiness here and for ever, it is not enough for us to know the commandments of God, but we

must keep them, keep in them as our way, keep to them as our rule, keep them as our treasure, and with care, as

the apple of our eye. Matthew Henry

"Now men may cavil as much as they like about other parts of the Bible, but I never met an honest man that

found fault with the Ten Commandments. D.L. Moody

"How many kinds of laws did God give in the Old Testament? Three kinds:

I. The ceremonial church law; 2. The civil law; 3. The moral law. Which of these laws is still in force? The

moral law, which is contained in the Ten Commandments. Cannot this law be abolished? No; because it is

founded on God's holy and righteous nature. Martin Luther


Apostle Paul

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the

law. (Rom 3:31)Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

(Rom 7:12)

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, butobeying God's

commandments is everything. (1Co 7:19)

Apostle John

For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments; andhis

commandments are not difficult , (1Jn 5:3)

Apostle James

But whoso looketh into theperfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he

being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed

in his deed. (Jas 1:25)

What is the biblical definition of sin?

Sin is the transgression of the law. (1Jn 3:4)

All possible sin a man can do are all cover by

the Ten Commandments and a direct

transgression of the law.
