VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. The Law was written on the Stones (JESUS)
"And he wrote there upon the stones [ALEPH-TAV] a copy of the law of Moses,"
Luke 24:44 (Amplified Bible)
24:44 Then He said to them, This is what I told you while I was still with you: everything which is written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.
There's no escape from the Law, if you ever able to fulfill it, there's a curse, and if you try to fulfill it, and forgotten even one, there's also a curse. The right word to say is not "end of law" but "fulfillment of law". Because everyone born in this world, when you ask them, "Why will you go to hell?" they will answer because I have done bad things in my life or when you ask them, "How to go to heaven?" they will say be good and do good things. These are all under the Law, you can never impress GOD with your good works so that He will promote you to Heaven, only JESUS can do that for you. The Law is perfect but human beings are not perfect.
Galatians 3:10 (Amplified Bible)
3:10 And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them.
Galatians 3:13 (Amplified Bible)
3:13 Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);
JESUS came to fulfill all the Law of Moses so that we (who failed to fulfill it) will be justified in GOD's sight, because JESUS had done everything for us.
Luke 21:22 (Amplified Bible)
21:22 For those are days of vengeance [of rendering full justice or satisfaction], that all things that are written may be fulfilled.
Matthew 26:56 (Amplified Bible)
26:56 But all this has taken place in order that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples deserted Him and, fleeing, escaped.
The Law cannot save, the Law cannot make anyone perfect. That's why JESUS came here on earth bearing Grace and Truth not Law, He came to fulfill all the Law so that we can be made perfect without works but by Grace through faith.
Hebrews 10:1 (Amplified Bible)
10:1 FOR SINCE the Law has merely a rude outline (foreshadowing) of the good things to come—instead of fully expressing those things—it can never by offering the same sacrifices continually year after year make perfect those who approach [its altars].
John 1:17 (Amplified Bible)
1:17 For while the Law was given through Moses, grace (unearned, undeserved favor and spiritual blessing) and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (Amplified Bible)
2:8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;
2:9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]
B. The writing was done in the presence of the Israelites
"which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel."
Jews and Gentiles who are believers are called the "Israel of GOD"
Galatians 6:16 (Amplified Bible)
6:16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule [who discipline themselves and regulate their lives by this principle], even upon the [true] Israel of God!
The writing was done in our presence. Every time we remember what the LORD has done on the Cross of Calvary, He died under the Law, so we could live under Grace.
Romans 7:6 (Amplified Bible)
7:6 But now we are discharged from the Law and have terminated all intercourse with it, having died to what once restrained and held us captive. So now we serve not under [obedience to] the old code of written regulations, but [under obedience to the promptings] of the Spirit in newness [of life].
Illustration:
Law is compared to a hospital where it will only admit people that are not sick, we can't be admitted in the hospital because we're already healed. Law is compared to a husband or a wife, but we have terminated all intercourse with it. Law is compared to a jail or prison, the warden can no longer jail us or put us in prison because we're already dead.
John 1:14 (Amplified Bible)
1:14 And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.
We are no longer under the Law, because CHRIST fulfilled it all, there's no longer any Law that remains yet to be fulfilled, CHRIST fulfilled it all.. the Law is all fulfilled in the Cross of Calvary, now we have no more obligation to the Law but we're under (below) Grace.
Romans 6:14 (Amplified Bible)
6:14 For sin shall not [any longer] exert dominion over you, since now you are not under Law [as slaves], but under grace [as subjects of God’s favor and mercy].
Illustration:
We are now imprisoned in a prison cell or jail called Grace and our new Warden is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
2 Corinthians 9:8 (Amplified Bible)
9:8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
Our officer right now or taskmaster is not Law anymore but Grace. We are prisoners before of sin and Law, but now we REST TOGETHER in our FAITH and even if there's Law (Mosaic Law) we no longer hear or heed (obey) it's voice, but we obey the voice of Grace.
Job 3:18 (Amplified Bible)
3:18 There the [captive] prisoners rest together; they hear not the taskmaster’s voice.
Galatians 4:4-5 (Amplified Bible)
4:4 But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law,
4:5 To purchase the freedom of (to ransom, to redeem, to tone for) those who were subject to the Law, that we might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon us [and be recognized as God’s sons].
Illustration:
CHRIST is compared to a kidnapper's ransom money, He's the payment to set us free. CHRIST is compared to a pawnshop, He Himself declared that we are already redeemed. All CHRIST's blood ransomed and redeemed from the curse of sin and the Law.
John 10:4-5 (Amplified Bible)
10:4 When he has brought his own sheep outside, he walks on before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
10:5 They will never [on any account] follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not know the voice of strangers or recognize their call.
We no longer hear the voice of the taskmaster (law and sin) but we hear only the voice of the Good Shepherd (the LORD JESUS CHRIST). The voice of the strangers are law and sin.
IX. CONCLUSION:
2 Corinthians 3:3 (Amplified Bible)
3:3 You show and make obvious that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, not written with ink but with [the] Spirit of [the] living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
2 Corinthians 3:6 (Amplified Bible)
3:6 [It is He] Who has qualified us [making us to be fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and dispensers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not [ministers] of the letter (of legally written code) but of the Spirit; for the code [of the Law] kills, but the [Holy] Spirit makes alive.
1 Corinthians 6:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
6:16 Or do you not know and realize that when a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? The two, it is written, shall become one flesh.
6:17 But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS, for You have fulfilled all the Law for me so I could live under Grace and as a slave to righteousness.
