Hi. I don't really know what kind of updates I have. We do have new off-topics, lyrics and poems..Including, "Japanese Superman," "The Bear Says Yes," and "You don't know me but I know you" All good, unique, creative, AWESOME stuff, so check it out!
Now on to the Bible study. This is part 2 of Being A Christian - Who Christ Was and Is. As you read in last week's study Jesus was the God-man (Hypostatic Union) We also learned Jesus had to follow the book of God's law because He was Human, and as we are Humans, so do we. We realize the law has deeper meaning than anything before Jesus explained it..
We realize how much deeper the law ran..because we realize that by murdering someone..wasn't just literal. Infact, if we are to hate someone in our hearts, and keep that hatred, we have commited murder. Just as if we even so much as look at someone besides our spouse lustfully..We may as well have commited adultery. As we have in our hearts. Those aren't the only laws that go into depth, but we will use those as examples for now.
Now, on to the reason FOR and OF the law. The law judges your actions, your emotions, and your THOUGHTS. There is literally no escape from it. Now do you understand just how deep the law goes? God knew this, and He knew the true meaning of the Law. Now we realize..Jesus was the only one that fulfilled the law.. We all sin, and we all break the law of God at times..
Matthew 5:17 - Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.
Jesus said that, and so HE DID. As He said before He died.. "It is finished." we know that He came to fulfil the law and forgive us our debts and sin and He did so. This should give you more of a clear picture of who Jesus was and what He came to do..
So since we understand that the Law of Moses, firstly, was given to Moses as the instructions on what we are to do to get into heaven. Secondly, that we as humans can't fulfill the Law, and thirdly that Jesus was the ONLY one to fulfill the Law; what do we conclude?
The law of Moses was to show us that we need Jesus Christ in order to get into Heaven. That's the purpose of the law. Since Jesus was the only person ever perfect enough to fulfill the law and uphold it to it's complete degree. So, basically, we need Jesus to get into heaven. If you want more depth..this is what Bayomir wrote:
That's the true purpose of the Law of Moses. Since Jesus WAS and IS the only person EVER to fulfill and uphold the Law to its complete and fullest degree; it's design was to show us that we cannot get into heaven BUT through the blood of the lamb-Christ Jesus. So now that we have seen That Jesus was and is the God-man who came to earth fulfill the Law of Moses so that everyone has the capability to get into heaven, he next thing to see is how He upheld the Law while alive so that we can continue to understand who Christ was and is.
Dear God,
Thank you Father that you sent your only Son to this earth as a man to fulfill your Law passed down to Moses that so that through Him we can reach heaven and stand in your glory forever.
Amen
and that concludes the study.
His Love Endures Forever,
Hayley
