THE BLOOD COVENANT (PART 9)

God gave the law at Sinai knowing His people would break it. He told Moses, “They will provoke Me and break My covenant…for I know the inclination of their behavior today” (Deut. 31:16, 21). The law was not given to give life. Rather, it was given to magnify sin and witness to Christ as sin’s solution. On top of this, the law always had a time limit. With the coming the new covenant we are no longer under the law and it becomes obsolete (Gal. 3:25; Heb. 8:13). Finally, Paul says that because the law was put to death in the body of Christ we can now be married to Christ instead of the law (Rom. 7:4). Bearing the fruit of love, faith, and holiness comes from our union with our Bridegroom, Christ, rather than from our union with the law. We have a new heart with a different inclination! We have the law written on our heart rather than written on stone! Join us!
